ICF Thermal Wall Forms – Insulated Concrete Forms
Thermal Durisol insulated concrete forms (ICF), incorporate mineral fibre (rock-wool), insulation that is also non-combustible and moisture resistant.
Thermal insulating mass effects are maximized by positioning the insulated material towards the exterior, resulting in additional insulating energy efficiency that is not possible with other insulated concrete forms.
True R values range between R-14 and R-28 for the thermal units. Be sure to ask for true steady-state R-values when comparing products and do not accept generic “Effective” R-values that are quoted by many manufacturers as this is will result in an inaccurate comparison of insulating values.
