ECO-Block
Insulating Concrete Forms in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) represent one of the
fastest-growing sectors in the construction industry today. ICF's are
hollow blocks or panels made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) that a
construction crew stacks to create the exterior walls of a
residential or commercial building. Workers then add reinforcing
steel and fill the gap (typically 4” to 8”) between the two layers
of foam with concrete. This combination of concrete, steel and foam
creates a very strong and energy-efficient structure. After the
concrete has hardened, the forms stay in place and become the
insulation for the walls.

The ECO-Block wall acts as an energy reservoir that reduces
temperature fluctuations and energy transfer. Because of their high
thermal mass, ECO-Block walls provide energy efficiency equivalent
to a wood-frame wall of R-40, to as high as R-50, depending on your
geographical location.
