About Ecoblockman

ICF's are used for walls in residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Concrete walls built with insulating concrete forms (ICF's) give a building enhanced comfort, solidity, durability, resistance to natural disasters, quietness, and energy efficiency. Use of ICF's is growing rapidly. They offer owners and builders many advantages over wood or steel frame walls.
We offer installation of ICF product's to Commercial General Contractor's, Residential General Contractor's, Design-Build Firms & Owner-Builders.
Serving the entire southeast!

Interests

Energy Efficiency: While ICF walls provide an excellent environment for basements, the full benefits of ICF walls are gained when used for the entire structure, above and below grade. ICF walls create a solid, continuous wall that blocks air infiltration, drafts, cold spots and wide temperature fluctuations.

The insulated concrete walls provide a high R-value, very low infiltration of air, and thermal mass that keeps the temperature nearly constant throughout the year. As a result, heating and cooling units work far less to condition the inside air. The savings realized on heating and cooling costs can be more than 50 percent.

Safety: Because the concrete in ICF steel-reinforced concrete walls cures to a strength at least 50 percent stronger than conventionally poured concrete, ICFs are one of the stronger wall system when it comes to standing up to the elements. In fact, ICF buildings have survived intact after being hit by tornadoes with wind speeds reaching as high 250 mph.
