Insulated Concrete Forms

Foam Systems

IFC

     Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are rigid plastic foam forms that hold concrete in place during curing and remain in place afterwards to serve as thermal insulation for concrete walls. The foam sections are lightweight and result in energy-efficient, durable construction. 

     While there is more than one type of IFC the information provided in the links below focus on the Foam Insulated Concrete Forms. Information on Composite IFCs can be found on another page connected to this website.

     Click on any of the Headings in the table below to learn more about the different attributes of this type of system.
