First, ICF stands for “isolated or insulated concrete formwork.” In short, these are in-situ concrete forms that are used for the construction of external walls of houses or buildings. The shapes consist of a central part, in which metal strips are often hung which are used to stabilize and reinforce the concrete that will eventually be poured into this section to fill any openings. Each side of the shape, which will ultimately be the inside and outside of the walls, is made of an insulating material. Often this insulation consists of two to four-inch insulation foam. In the finished product your outer walls, therefore, have a concrete core that is wrapped with insulating foam. ICF systems are usually only used for external walls. There are many reasons for this. First, there is no need for thick, insulating inner walls. Secondly, if you want to reconfigure the interior walls, it would be a massive task if your walls were reinforced concrete. However, there has been a tendency to build a ‘security space' in a house or office that is housed on both sides of concrete walls.
