Webinar Description
Insulated concrete form is used to lay a building foundation using intermeshing foam bricks. The hollow polystyrene walls construct the foundations outside the form, and fortifying rebar is placed inside for additional strength. After the forms are set, the concrete mixture is poured into the centre. The focus of this webinar is to provide an overview of ICF and compare it to conventional forming foundations. The webinar will look at cost comparison and the advantages and disadvantages of using ICF.
