Insulated Concrete Formwork by BecoWallform
In the world of self-building, BecoWallform Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) systems are making waves as a game-changing solution for constructing Passivhaus standard homes and zero-energy buildings. The systems, which include Wallform 313, 375, and 438, offer unparalleled energy efficiency and thermal performance.
BecoWallform, a monolithic, energy-efficient ICF system, combines the strength of concrete with insulation to create walls that are not only robust but also highly energy-efficient. The unique design of these systems, featuring expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and a concrete core, results in a structure that is airtight, robust, and offers exceptional thermal insulation.
Wallform 313, with a U-value of 0.18W/m2K, is a practical solution for self-builders aiming to meet the new UK Building Regulations with ease. On the other hand, Wallform 375 and 438, with U-values of 0.14W/m2K and 0.11W/m2K respectively, offer unparalleled thermal performance, making them ideal for those seeking to construct Passivhaus standard homes.
The fast and straightforward construction process of Wallform 313, with its interlocking components, reduces build time and minimizes waste onsite. Meanwhile, Wallform 375 and 438, with their design that incorporates expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and a concrete core, provide an easy-to-install, sustainable solution for self-builders pursuing net-zero or ultra-low-energy homes.
Once set, the concrete in BecoWallform becomes a high-strength structure, and the formwork remains in place as thermal insulation, offering U-values down to 0.11W/m2k. This continuous insulation and concrete core contribute to stable indoor temperatures, enhanced comfort, and lower energy consumption.
Moreover, the PSI values of Wallform 375 and 438 are among the lowest of any building system, reducing heat loss at junctions significantly. This, coupled with the systems' ability to encourage creative design and offer long-term comfort and durability, makes BecoWallform an attractive choice for self-builders.
For those interested in precise performance standards or certifications, such as R-value numbers, U-values, or compliance with zero-energy building programs, manufacturer specifications or test reports for each Wallform type would provide the necessary details.
