Insulated Concrete Forms

As of November 1st., 2008, ECO-Block has merged with the ARXX family of Insulated Concrete Form systems. This will enable us to offer greater services as we move forward in the development of new and better form systems.

Greener. Faster. Better.

Now more than ever, you need the ECO-Block Freight Advantage - Twice the Block of Fixed Systems per freight dollar!

ECO-Block Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) represent the superior way to build. ECO-Block is simpler and easier to install than wood-frame methods -- and, even other ICF systems. It's faster, taking less time with fewer people. And it's better, because ECO-Block buildings are vastly more energy-efficient. Stronger. Quieter. Resistant to fire, moisture, mold and the elements. With a positive ecological impact.

Greener

This is the better way to build, period. Energy savings generated by an ECO-Block building are up to 50% and HVAC tonnage requirements reduced by as much as 30% - and continue for the life of the building. You save on utility and maintenance costs. ECO-Block buildings stand strong against the wind. They can have up to a four-hour fire resistive rating. Many insurance companies give discounts to ICF building owners for disaster and fire insurance.

• Significant energy savings.
• Reduced noise transmission.
• Will not support the growth of mold or mildew.
• Can be built to any seismic or hurricane-storm standard.
• Up to a four-hour Fire Resistive Rating.

Faster

The ECO-Block system gets the job done faster. With our multiple manufacturing locations throughout North America, you save on transportation costs and delivery time. Because our flat panels can be packed tightly, ECO-Block is easier to ship and handle than other fixed-block ICFs.

Easy to Learn, Easy to Install

The ECO-Block system is easy to learn, requiring less time for training. Installing window and door openings is fast and simple with Universal Buck, the first field-engineered PVC buck system in the industry. ECO-Block's system of latching connectors snaps in place quickly, so ICF panels are joined together fast -- and the job is done sooner. Only one construction crew is needed to get the job done, instead of the typical three.

• Install window and door openings fast with Universal Buck.
• Train in less time with our easy-to-understand, intergraded system.
• Assemble walls of any size quickly with easy-to-snap-in connectors.
• Electrical and plumbing installations are fast and easy.

Better

This state-of-the-art method of construction is also the simplest. ECO-Block insulated concrete forms are EPS (expanded polystyrene) panels that easily snap together to create walls of virtually any thickness, from 4" on up in 2" increments. The space between the panels is filled with concrete that cures and hardens into a monolithic, reinforced core of incredible strength.

No Limits To Design

ECO-Block gives you unlimited design flexibility. Got a saw? ECO-Block cuts easily into any shape you need -- perfect for unique window openings and arches. You can also choose from our pre-formed corners in varying sizes and angles. And any exterior or interior finish can be directly applied to the panels. ECO-Block also offers pre-drawn architectural details available in both .cad & .pdf formats.

• Build from the footing to the roofline, using one crew, one system.
• Form walls 4" thick and greater in any configuration.
• Create any shape or contour your design calls for.
• Apply any exterior or interior finish.
