JUST WHAT ARE INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS?
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are a 'stay in place' insulated wall forming system made of three primary components:
- Expanded Polystyrene Foam
- Rigid Plastic Ties
- Reinforced Poured Concrete
ICF's were invented in the 1940's in Europe by a company named Argisol, which later became Greenblock. These systems made a giant leap in the 1960's with technology developments made in Plastic Foam and Moldings. ICF's became widely commercially available in North America during the 1980's but even then only a handful of Canadian and US companies were experimenting with this new method of forming a wall with stay in place insulating foam forms. Currently though, there are now some 70 companies engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of ICF systems.
This magnificent 36,000 square foot home, located on the beach in Vero Beach Florida, will be completed in 3 phases. Phase 1 is an 8,000 square foot beach home utilizing high performance Greenblock Insulated Concrete Form walls as well as steel-reinforced concrete Lite-Deck floors. This Beach home will feature a unique roof top pool with entertainment area. The completed home will feature gourmet kitchens, helicopter pad, a wind turbine generator and will be Florida Green Building Council (FGBC) “Green” certified.

GREEN BUILDERS
The trend toward Green sustainable, environmentally responsible construction is here to stay. Pick up any newspaper or magazine and you'll see that the trend is exploding, both in residential as well as commercial construction. In fact, many local, state and federal agencies are now adopting Green building standards as a way to preserve our natural resources and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. Public and private building owners are demanding high-performance, earth-friendly construction methods and materials. It has been documented that the ongoing energy use of a building is the single greatest environmental impact of that building and continues to impact the environment for decades, even centuries. As a member of both the United States Green Building Council-USGBC, www.usgbc.org and the Green Building Initiative www.thegbi.org, Greenblock is committed to providing products and services to the green building community that will result in conservation of our natural resources. Greenblock insulated concrete forms can have a significant impact on energy use as well as create a structure that is safe, strong and sustainable for centuries to come.
