Made from woodcrete (wood waste mixed with cement), ECOBrix (Durisol) woodcrete icf blocks are as robust as conventional blockwork but has the thermal efficiency of timber. PIR insulation integrated within each wall form unit enhances the thermal efficiency. An excellent example of insulated concrete forms
On-site, the hollow units are dry-stacked together to form walls. Assembly is quick and easy. The units are filled with ready-mix concrete to create a wall with exceptional standards of insulation and airtightness.
WHY Ecobrix
Award-winning and British manufactured Ecobrix ICF is the simple and sustainable alternative to cavity masonry, brick and block, block and block and timber-frame construction.
Whether you are a self-builder, a professional property developer or a social housing provider Ecobrix offers an easy, cost-effective and thermally efficient way to build.
Woodcrete ICF, Ecobrix, has been successfully used in build projects across mainland Europe for over 70 years. Ecobrix UK was established in 2005.
How it works
Building with Ecobrix is quick and straightforward. The pre-insulated interlocking ICF blocks are dry-stacked together to form the walls. They are then in-filled with concrete to create a monolithic structural walling system. Unlike other ICFs, there is no need for propping during construction as the weight of the units holds them in place.
Ecobrix ICF is manufactured in South Wales from woodcrete – recycled wood fibre material which is bonded with cement.
Suitable for a Wide Variety of Builds
Ecobrix ICF wall form units can be used for a wide variety of builds from simple home extensions, one-off new builds and basement projects through to housing developments and commercial buildings.
Ecobrix is thermally efficient, non-combustible, durable and sound absorbent. The simple construction method makes them quick to construct and offers an attractive build solution for self-builders.
Ecobrix can save you up to 30% compared to the cost of traditional brick and block masonry.
Building with Ecobrix woodcrete ICF offers a range of unique benefits and meets all upcoming and future regulations and recommendations for sustainable building construction.
