Insulbrick expanded polystyrene formwork from Insulbrick ICF

This project was for a home at Glen Waverly. Insulbricks provide a fire retardant expanded polystyrene [EPS] formwork for casting concrete structures. When interlocked and filled with concrete, they create a solid wall with remarkable insulating properties for both internal and external walls.

The key benefits of the system include;

Versatility and strength - the system is ideal for high wind areas and allows maximum load bearing potential.
Bushfires and termite protection - no timber is required with InsulBrick construction thus reducing the risk for fire and termite infestation.
Structural support - concise engineering specifications ensure that all walls are appropriately reinforced.
Insulation - the polystyrene form provides enormous benefits for sound and thermal insulation. It also insulates the concrete core minimising any movement resulting from temperature fluctuations.
Guidelines - the simple construction procedures and clear guidelines ensure that erection is fast and efficient.
Maintenance free - no painting or cracking. The cracking often seen with rendered BV structures does not occur with this system.
