Insulated Reinforced Concrete Home Built Fast with ZEGO

Alternative reinforced concrete wall system from ZEGO

The brief for this residential project in Doncaster, Victoria was a home that achieved high insulation properties and a reduced build time. With an appreciation for reinforced concrete homes, ZEGO Insulated Concrete Forms was an ideal alternative wall system that would assist with the energy efficiency of the home whilst maintaining structural integrity.

The 200 Series HomeFORM which was used for the project consists of 45mm of foam insulation on both the internal and external walls, a total of 90mm of insulation. This encapsulates a 100mm reinforced concrete core for an overall wall thickness of 190mm.

On completion of the project, the builder/owner reported that the heating and cooling costs were dramatically reduced to between 50-80%. During the height of the winter and summer months, they were able to switch off systems throughout the day with the confidence that the ZEGO Insulated Concrete walls would maintain the constant temperature throughout the home.
