Air quality
Optimal Interior Environment
Building with ECO-Block eliminates air infiltration through the wall assembly into a structure, which allows for greater control of a building's interior air quality. There are no drafts or cold spots.
Recycle EPS
Recycling
ECO-Block ICFs reduce the pressure on precious natural resources by replacing lumber used in frame construction and greatly reducing the amount of fuel needed for heating and cooling. Plus, the ICFs are manufactured using an environmentally clean process. No CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are used or released. Also, a large percentage of the plastic webs and connectors are made from recycled material.
Sound Suppression
Virtually Soundproof
Walls constructed with ECO-Block Insulated Concrete Forms dramatically reduce outside noise pollution. The result is a quiet, peaceful, superior sound environment.
Mold & Moisture
Mold and Moisture-Resistant
The indoor climate of your ECO-Block home is protected by the air and water vapor barrier qualities of the ECO-Block ICF system.
ECO-Block ICFs can significantly contribute to a mold-free environment due to the inorganic nature of the material. It also creates a very tight building envelope, reducing unintentional air infiltration. In high-humidity environments, interior moisture should then be controlled through the use of spot removal (e.g., bathroom fans) and properly sized air conditioning units that will cycle on long enough to dehumidify the air.
