ICF – Insulated concrete formwork is a method of building construction using lightweight and hollow insulation forms that fit together and are then filled with concrete. Once set, the concrete becomes a high-strength structure and the formwork remains in place as thermal insulation. Most important aspect is that the ICF is rasped prior to receiving the StarContact basecoat.
Baumit Render system can be used on an ICF project as it is an NSAI approved system.
Baumit EWI System has been awarded NSAI Agrément Certificate No: 09/0336
