Altherm ICF, with its unique features and a manufacturing capacity to supply 3500 homes per annum, is an award-winning modern method of construction. It was created in direct response to the demand for high quality housing stock to be built quickly, and to scale.
This system forms a fully insulating, permanent shuttering mould into which concrete is poured. Its many advantages make ICF an increasingly popular choice for all kinds and sizes of build.
Once cast, the concrete core not only provides the necessary structure for the building with the structure’s lifetime durability but also integrates with the ICF to provide superior sound insulation with an air permeability of <3m3 /hr/m2 being easily achieved, all adhering to the latest fire safety standards.
With each form weighing less than 3.5kg, Altherm ICF is a user-friendly system that enhances the speed of construction, reduces waste, and meets the standards of the TGD Part L. This efficiency not only saves time but also ensures a productive construction process.
The powerful combination of the patented, reversible interlock, EPS composition, innovative web design, and web spacing results in a simple, robust framework system that requires less support during installation. The result is straight, flat, and plumb walls and minimal wastage.
The benefits of Altherm ICF are evident on-site. Its lightweight nature eliminates the need for heavy craneage, and significantly reduces the risk of personal injury on site.
The convenience of its all-in-one system leads to significantly shorter build times. Walls can be erected in any weather, and programmes require minimal lead time as the product can be delivered directly to the site from its manufacturing plant in Dublin.
Altherm ICF enables significant reductions in build duration compared to traditional building methods. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to continually developing our product ranges and methods to assist the construction industry in safely constructing low- energy, low-sound, and high-speed homes.
