The Left or Right handed pilaster ICF Building Block typically makes up 10% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has four strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin.

Energy Efficiency

Continuous insulation without thermal bridges or “insulation gaps”, as is common in framed construction.
Thermal mass, when used well and combined with passive solar design, can play an important role in further reductions in energy use, especially in climates where it is common to have outside temperatures swing above inside temperatures during the day and below at night.

Strength

Insulating concrete forms create a structural concrete wall, either monolithic or post and beam, that is up to ten times stronger than wood framed structures.

Sound Absorption

ICF walls have much lower rates of acoustic transmission. Standard thickness ICF walls have shown sound transmission coefficients (STC) between 46 and 72 compared to 36 for standard fiberglass insulation and drywall. The level of sound attenuation achieved is a function of wall thickness, mass, component materials and air tightness.
