Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF)
PolySteel Warmerwall ICF is probably the most energy efficient building block (Insulated Concrete Formwork) you can use to build the exterior walls of your next building project.
Our Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF) - Polysteel Warmerwall - is a super energy efficient building method used to build walls. You can quickly and easily create the exterior walls of family homes, apartments, hotels, commercial units, property extensions, basements and retaining walls.
Our modern construction block is known as an ICF Form. We manufacture our block in the UK and it is ideal for both building contractors and self builders. Our insulated forms provide you with design flexibility to create buildings which are quick to construct and provide superb thermal storage values. Your wall insulation is already inherent in a PolySteel block.
Building contractors will find our method ideal for providing the latest “Thermal Storage” homes and commercial buildings such as schools or hospitals.
Self builders who wish to reap the benefits of living their dream can do so with PolySteel Warmerwall. You will enjoy a highly insulated home with year round comfortable temperature which is cosy, draught free and has a
whisper quiet interior that will continually reward you with some of the lowest running costs around.
For the discerning building contractor, the PolySteel system is an Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF). The formwork serves the
initial purpose of forming the walls and then, the insulation stays in place to provide a construction grade
super-insulated barrier against hot and cold exterior (and interior) temperature variation.
An additional feature of the formwork is the integrated strong steel fixing method which allows the fixing of interior or
exterior cladding, boarding, tiles, cupboards, radiators, various exterior finishes thus reducing to almost zero the
need to drill and plug the walls.
We call our blocks "Forms". Each form has a tongue and groove design which slots easily together leading to
fast wall build times.
