Insulated Concrete Forms
Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are rigid foam forms that hold concrete during curing and remain in place as insulation for concrete walls. ICF walls have high thermal resistance and provide backing for interior and exterior finishes. ICF construction yields very strong, energy efficient, and quickly built walls that are ideal for resisting hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. Different ICF systems create walls with varying concrete thickness patterns. While ICF material and installation costs more initially than traditional framing, the walls provide long-term energy savings and protection.

EPS (thermocoal ) in construction
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, closed-cell foam made of pre-expanded polystyrene beads that is used widely in construction for insulation and structural purposes. EPS has various uses including insulation for under-floor heating, internal and external walls, lofts/ceilings, and as insulated concrete forms (ICFs) where concrete is poured into EPS formwork providing structure and long-term insulation. ICF construction offers benefits like faster curing of concrete, ease of handling, energy efficiency, cost savings, sound insulation, and resilience during natural disasters.
Understanding EIFS
EIFS is an exterior wall cladding system that consists of an insulation board attached to the substrate, an integrally reinforced base coat, and a textured protective finish coat. EIFS was developed in the 1960s and became popular in the 1970s due to its high insulation value. When installed properly, EIFS improves energy efficiency by reducing energy bills by 20-30%. However, EIFS installation can be technically challenging and problems may arise if not installed correctly by experienced workers. If EIFS fails its waterproofing, water that gets behind the system can be difficult to remove and identify responsibility.

This document provides information on cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) made with fly ash. Some key points:
- CLC is a type of lightweight concrete produced using fly ash, cement, sand, water and a foaming agent. It has a homogeneous cell structure that reduces its density.
- Fly ash from thermal power plants constitutes over 25% of CLC's solid materials. CLC can have densities ranging from 400-1800 kg/m3 while achieving strengths up to 275 kg/cm2.
- The manufacturing process involves making a slurry then introducing foam to create air pockets, reducing weight. CLC offers benefits over normal concrete like using an industrial waste, lower costs, better insulation and strength.

Insulated Concrete Forms
- 1. Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) Insulated concrete forms are rigid plastic foam forms that hold concrete in place during curing and remain in place afterwards to serve as thermal insulation for concrete walls.
- 3. These systems create walls that have a high thermal resistance.
- 4. They also provide a backing for drywall on the inside, as well as stucco, siding, or brick for the outside. http://www.monsterconstructors.com/img/icf-walls.jpg
- 6. Excellent insulating qualities.
- 7. Easy to build radius walls, which are problematic with conventional wood framing.
- 8. Virtually no worksite cutting, which minimizes waste. This saves money and is a green building practice.
- 10. A grid system creates walls using a waffle pattern. The concrete is thicker at some points than others.
- 14. Severe weather resistance
- 16. Faster construction time
- 17. Insect resistant
- 18. Significant exterior noise reduction
- 19. Four times the fire resistance of wood-framed homes
- 20. Environmentally friendly (Using ICF blocks to construct a 2,000 square foot home will save almost 50 trees)
