Fire Guidance

Learn about Amvic ICF two decades of expertise in ICF technology, delivering sustainable, energy-efficient building solutions.

Fire Performance in Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)

At Amvic ICF, we prioritise building solutions that combine structural integrity, energy efficiency, and fire safety. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), a key component in Insulated Concrete Forms, has well-documented fire performance characteristics that influence its use in construction.

Amvic ICF is manufactured using flame-retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS), ensuring compliance with building regulations and enhanced fire safety. Assessed under the NSAI Certification process, it meets TGD Part B requirements for designated purpose groups. Combined with a reinforced concrete core, Amvic ICF delivers a structurally robust and long-lasting building solution.

Fire Safety Considerations

The concrete core acts as a protective barrier, preventing direct flame contact and slowing heat transfer. This combination enhances fire resistance, ensuring compliance with modern building regulations while maintaining thermal and structural performance.

When used within an ICF system, EPS-SE provides a balance of insulation efficiency, durability, and fire safety, supporting the development of high-performance, resilient structures.
