The substance is often made using small styrofoam balls as a lightweight aggregate instead of the crushed stone that is used in regular concrete.
Polystyrene walls filled concrete.
It simultaneously acts as the forming system for placing concrete the structural system for above and below grade walls as superior stay in place insulation sound suppression and as the.
Create an energy efficient and sustainable building with smartblock insulated concrete forms.
The standard form blocks are each 10x10x40 inches and have interlocking notched edges that make it simple to lay and align the blocks into a tightly fitted wall surface.
Of eps on each side.
In the most basic use of concrete in construction using smartblock accomplishes in one step what normally requires numerous steps.
Bob explores innovative construction technologies insul tarp and reddiform polystyrene blocks as the structure is reinforced and the first floor walls st.
Smartblock forms are made of expanded polystyrene eps they are an insulating stay in place formwork that speeds construction and yields a superior finished wall.
The finished wall will be 5 75 in.
Lightweight concrete also known as epscrete expanded polystyrene concrete is a material widely used in the building of environmentally green homes.
Insulated concrete form walls are constructed by pouring concrete into hollow pre formed panels which are most commonly made of expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene foam.
Interlocking blocks of expanded polystyrene eps have been used as permanent forms for a variety of wall installations with concrete being placed in the voids in the patented eps blocks.
