ICF Tech

The next generation Insulating Concrete Form: the future for building walls

A revolutionary construction method that dramatically reduces the time and cost of house building and offers huge advantages in energy saving, fire safety, thermal and acoustic performance is now available from ICF Tech, which is part of the Litchfield Group of Companies.

A complete system

ICF Tech is the only complete insulating concrete form system designed specifically for the UK building industry. The supply and fit system includes all the elements required to construct ICF walls such as the floor supports and closers to seal the window and door cavities. The system is also designed to accommodate Sheerframe windows and Masterdors.

Modern Method of Construction

Classified as a non-off site manufacture Modern Method of Construction (MMC), it is quick and easy to construct. Once on site a typical family house can be ready for the roof to go on inside one week.

Structural engineering

The ICF Tech system consists of strong yet lightweight, interlocking forms made from fire retardant Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). Once the forms are constructed the structure is filled with a unique thermally efficient concrete, developed in partnership with Bardon Concrete an Aggregate Industries business, to form a high performance monolithic concrete wall. An ICF building can look like any other by adding brick slip systems, timber cladding, render or commercial cladding systems.

Cost effective

The ICF Tech system is around 10% more cost effective than traditional house building techniques and has excellent eco credentials in terms of thermal efficiency, use of recycled materials, low U values and the ability to reduce ongoing CO2 emissions of buildings.

British design

ICFs have been used in the construction industry for more than 50 years mainly in the self build markets particularly in the USA. The ICF Tech system has been designed specifically for the UK market, complying with Building Regulations and British Standards. Volume house builders and smaller property developers can now benefit from the ICF Tech system, which is designed to be the 'next generation' ICF system delivering real benefits including design flexibility, thermal performance, ease of use, speed of construction and cost effectiveness.
