ICF, a modern method of construction, is an insulated in-situ concrete system of building that is quick to construct and offers levels of performance significantly better than that available from slower more traditional methods of construction. ICF is expanded polystyrene lightweight block or panel components that lock together to provide a formwork into which concrete is poured. These homes are highly efficient and can achieve u-values down to 0.10 W/m2k. The most common way of finishing these houses is with specially designed lightweight polymer based renders, which give a good stable surface directly on top of the polystyrene. Through our experience and expertise in dealing with these types of builds, we can offer you a wide variety of finishes to suit any projects needs. There are over 800 colours to choose from with the external render systems used for these buildings. SF Plastering also offers complete start to finish service including external render, drylining, and skimming.
