Amvic: Fast ICF construction, superior insulation & strength, ICF block construction.
An innovative solution that enables safe, efficient and sustainable buildings for affordable homes. Whether your homes are purchased or rented, you will want peace of mind when it comes to the safety and affordability of your housing stock. Certified to high levels of environmental, energy efficiency, health and safety standards, Amvic ICF system helps housing associations, local governments and other public sector bodies meet all environmental, fire and safety targets and is superior to alternative solutions such as timber and traditional block structures. Amvic ICF delivers a 70% reduction in energy costs over traditional build methods.
ICF combines advanced engineering with practical benefits, to create a safe, efficient, and sustainable solution for affordable homes. From reducing build costs and construction timelines to enhancing energy efficiency and fire resistance, ICF addresses key priorities while delivering long-term value for housing providers and their tenants.
ICF’s unique structure provides over 60 minutes of fire resistance, with its concrete core effectively preventing the spread of flames and meeting stringent safety regulations.
ICF provides substantial energy savings, delivering a 70% reduction in energy usage compared to traditional building methods. Its industry-leading U-values as low as 0.148 W/m²K and exceptional airtightness significantly reduce heating costs to as little as €1.50/m² annually, ensuring long-term savings for housing bodies and tenants alike.
ICF’s innovative system significantly reduces project timelines by up to 50% when compared with conventional methods, ideal for large-scale development sites.
ICF’s modular, lightweight design minimises the need for heavy machinery, requiring a teleporter for just 30 minutes daily, while allowing for immediate plasterboarding and rendering. This efficiency reduces on-site waste to as little as 2%, aligning with housing bodies’ environmental goals, and cuts costs associated with labour, scaffolding, and equipment like teleporters and cranes. Additionally, it accelerates electrical and mechanical work, shortening project timelines and enhancing adaptability for diverse projects.
ICF’s reinforced concrete core provides exceptional durability, shielding structures from harsh environmental conditions and minimising maintenance over its 60+ year lifespan. This long-term resilience translates to reduced costs and greater reliability. Additionally, ICF enhances living comfort by reducing noise levels by up to 62 dBA, creating quieter and more peaceful indoor environments for tenants.
From initial planning to final installation, Amvic provides comprehensive support and tailored solutions, guiding every step of the process to ensure efficient workflows, seamless execution, and high-quality project outcomes.
Every project is handled by trained and certified professionals to guarantee precision, compliance, and peace of mind.
