FAQ

Insulated concrete formwork is ideal for commercial and agricultural environments requiring precise climate control. For agricultural buildings, superior insulation maintains optimal conditions for livestock while resisting moisture.

Commercial spaces benefit from major energy savings, superior soundproofing and non-combustible protection that can reduce insurance premiums.

Insulated concrete formwork eliminates air spaces where moisture can accumulate thanks to the concrete's adhesion to polystyrene walls that are naturally resistant to moisture and mould. This uniform thermal mass maintains stable temperatures that reduce condensation risks.

The combination of concrete and insulating panels naturally creates a superior acoustic barrier compared to traditional construction. The mass of concrete significantly reduces noise transmission between spaces, an advantage particularly appreciated in multi-unit buildings.

The traditional method requires multiple separate steps: erecting temporary formwork, pouring concrete, removing formwork, then installing insulation and vapour barrier. Insulated concrete formwork combines all these steps into one: the insulating panels remain permanently in place and serve simultaneously as formwork, insulation and finishing surface.

Unlike traditional insulation that can leave thermal bridges at junctions, the insulated concrete formwork system creates a continuous envelope. This integrated approach eliminates air spaces where moisture can infiltrate.

Insulated concrete formwork accepts virtually all exterior claddings: brick, stone, stucco, wood siding, fibre cement or architectural panels. The stable polystyrene surface facilitates direct application of finishes without complex preparation. This insulated concrete formwork system adapts to a multitude of designs, including curved walls, original openings and large spans.
