![]() A standard 40' x 50' basement will use about $50 extra rebar, and reduce concrete costs of about $1,500. Our ICF products combine advanced engineered strength and reduced concrete costs. Minimal bracing is required for wind protection and safety during the pour. Walls will be straight and plumb and remain flat during stacking. We can custom design an ICF that is capable of single lift pours up to 10' or 12' high. ![]() The EPS ties also help absorb a portion of concrete expansion and contraction due to temperature variances throughout the day or seasons alleviating concrete cracking. The interlocked column and beam design allows the building the ability to flex under severe seismic loads, and maintain its integrity. In return, the strength of the rebar is spread through the wall with optimum efficiency. This holds the walls stable and prevents bulges and blowouts especially near the corners. This design is also used to strengthen bridges, concrete and steel columns and bridge beams.īy utilizing EPS ties designed to work as an arch, a grid of concrete is formed around the rebar. Engineers continually improved the ICF process by integrating a rebar grid within the form to provide excellent strength and concrete durability. Production of Perlite plaster and Perlite lightweight concrete.The original ICF design was completed over 40 years ago and replaced wood forms with foam, and utilized metal or plastic clips to hold the forms in place.Utilized for tunnel and shaft filling and lightweight concrete manufacturing.Application in the bridge to prevent freezing.Production of special of light heat-resistant ceramic tiles.Manufacture cement and plaster-based light plate.Maintain Acoustical balance of concrete. ![]() Production of heat-insulated light wall panel.Bulk filling by applying relatively low strength material for old sewer pipes, wells, unused cellars and basements, storage tanks, tunnels and subways.Cellular lightweight concrete is utilized as thermal insulation in the form of bricks and blocks over flat roofs or non-loading walls.Other AdvantagesĬellular light-weight concrete is also termite-proof and resistant towards freezing issues. Secondly, the use of industrial waste such as fly-ash saves a considerable amount of investment on cement products. Cost-EfficientĬost of the material used is concrete is reduced as the foam is introduced into the concrete. Environmental Friendlyįly-ash based cellular lightweight concrete is suitable for surrounding because fly-ash is one of the by-products of industrial waste. The low density increases acoustical insulation. Thermal InsulationĬellular concrete acts a perfect thermal insulator. ![]() The structure made of cellular concrete is non-combustible and can endure fire breakout for hours. The air pockets formed acts as a barrier for fire. The low weight property of cellular concrete has a great advantage on building dead loads and craning works. They have also proved to be a better substitute than glass wool, wood wool and thermocol. They act as a resistance against fire accidents, termite and moisture absorbent. LDCC is ideal for thermal and sound insulations. Light density cellular concrete has a density in the range of 400 –600 kg/m3. The major use of this type of cellular concrete is found in the manufacturing pre-cast blocks for non-load-bearing brickwork. The density range of this cellular concrete is 800-1000 kg/m3. It is used in the construction of load-bearing walls, partition walls and in the production of pre-cast blocks for load-bearing brickwork. This is a structural grade concrete having the density ranging from 1200kg/m3 to 1800 kg/m3. ![]() Types of Cellular Concrete based on DensityĬellular concrete is differentiated into 3 types based on the range of density, which is produced for different purpose.
