Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) is a building system with its own unique set of means and methods.
When choosing the best ICF system, important considerations include fast & easy installation, long term energy efficiency, local supply & support, complimentary products and exceptional customer service.
Element ICF is excellent in all these areas.
Long-Term Performance for the Building and Its Owner
Element ICF offers 2 3/4-inch panels which, with a concrete core, make up an R-25 finished wall assembly – top-tier among all major ICF products.
Speed and Ease of Installation for the Builder
The Element ICF system is designed has a myriad of unique time-saving features.
To get an idea of how fast ICF walls can go up, let’s look at a case study.
This builder attests to hitting a productivity rate of about 0.05 MH/ft² of ICF wall; this means that with a crew of 3, the team can finish a simple 2,000 ft² foundation or basement with 2,000 ft² with 9-foot 4-inch tall walls in about only 3.5 workdays.
Given that traditional foundation walls can take about 2 weeks to form, pour, finish, frame, and insulate, that’s lightning speed.

Technical Support, Training & Resources
As with any new construction method, switching to ICF entails some training and access to resources if you want to build with quality.
Element ICF is known as the ICF Solutions Company; and for good reason – from training seminars to installation guides, to a complete suite of engineering support and full technical assistance. Read more about that here.
Complimentary Product Lines to Complete the High-Performance Building Envelope
If you’re building high-performance ICF walls, it makes sense to complement these with other top-tier insulation products. These may include:
- under-slab boards,
- interior and exterior panels for roofs and attics, and
- radiant floor heating boards.
Complimentary product lines like Halo and Heat-Sheet offer a full array of the products listed above and you can often get these items from the same dealer as your Element ICF blocks and even have them delivered on the same truck.
