Here at Prima Building Solutions, we are one of only two companies across the country that are able to construct with the modern and innovative Emmedue building system.

A key element of Emmedue is the ICF panel, a modern innovation that is designed to replace the traditional solid concrete wall or brickwork. But how exactly does it work, and what are the benefits?

What exactly are ICF Panels?

ICF stands for insulated concrete formwork. The production method results in concrete walls fully wrapped in insulation. The system consists of expanded polystyrene (EPS) modular units that interlock to create the form of the wall. Comparisons have been made to lego bricks but on a much larger scale and obviously a lot more secure and rigid.

ICF has become a lot more popular in recent years due to the necessity of constructing buildings that conform to stringent energy efficiency standards. Building with ICF panels provides the home with exceptional U-values, the value used to measure thermal efficiency.

What are the benefits of ICF Panels?

The core benefit of using ICF panels in construction is the energy efficiency that the resulting building has. As energy prices continue to soar due to current world events, it has never been more important to continue developing production methods that ensure that our energy usage is more efficient than ever. 

With constant temperatures comes greater comfort in your home. You’ll never have to worry about leaking heat through the structure of the building, ensuring you’re warm all year round with a build from Prima with ICF panels.
