Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are used as a forming system for steel-reinforced, poured concrete walls. They replace traditional wall assembly systems including poured and CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit) walls and are used for exterior, interior, load-bearing and separation walls in commercial and residential construction.

    There is a wide variety of ICFs on the market, but generally, ICFs consist of two pieces of expanded Polystyrene (EPS) held together with plastic or steel ties. The forms are stacked to form a wall, strengthened with steel rebar and filled with concrete. The forms remain in place and become part of the wall after the concrete is poured.
