ECO-BLOCK

 

ECO-Block Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) represent a superior way to build. ECO-Block is simpler and easier to install than wood-frame methods. And it’s better, because ECO-Block buildings are vastly more energy-efficient, stronger, quieter, resistant to fire, moisture, mold and the elements. 

Greener 

This is the better way to build, period. Energy savings generated by an ECO-Block building are up to 50% and HVAC tonnage requirements reduced by as much as 30% — and continue for the life of the building. You save on utility and maintenance costs. ECO-Block buildings stand strong against the wind. They can have up to a four-hour fire resistive rating. Many insurance companies give discounts to ICF building owners for disaster and fire insurance. 

• Significant energy savings. 

• Reduced noise transmission. 

• Will not support the growth of mold or mildew. 

• Can be built to any seismic or hurricane-storm standard. 

• Up to a four-hour Fire Resistive Rating.
