The Benefits of Using ICFs include:
Ø Thermal Performance
· Walls built with Logix ICFs exceed current Thermal Regulations by at least 35%
Ø Draft Free
· Typical Air-tightness values of 1.5-2 air changes per hour mean the actual thermal performance is better than the U value alone.
Ø Quiet Homes
· Soild concrete and EPS combine to give sound reduction ratings in excess of Part E requirements.
Ø BRE Approval
· BRE Approved for Builds upto 6 storeys, and accepted by NHBC, Zurich and Premier Guarantee for 10 year structural warranties.
Ø Simplicity
· The system is so simple that projects can be achieved quickly with less skilled labour.
Ø Light weight construction work
· Logix blocks are easy to handle, weighing only 3kg each, and can be simply cut on site using hand tools. Concrete is placed via pumps meaning less heavy physical work.
Ø Fire resistance
· 30 min Fire resistance as a minimum, plus any contribution from finishes.
Ø Tie free reinforcement
· Our unique web design allows us to install 2 layers of reinforcement, without slowing to tie the bars together, or having to thread blocks over the vertical steel.
Ø In house Manufacture
· 30yrs experience of EPS production means LOGIX ICFs are the strongest on the market.
Ø Strength
· Logix forms are so strong, that we are happy to use mechanical compaction of the concrete and the use of environmentally friendly cement replacement materials.
Ø Less waste
· Modular Sizes, and the ability to reuse off-cuts elsewhere in the wall, means that waste on site can be cut to a minimum. Any waste EPS can be collected and recycled by arrangement.
Ø Start Earlier
· Ex stock availability of common sizes means that work can commence without off-site lead times, bringing projects forward by weeks.
Ø Technical Support And Engineering Design
· Logix offer full technical and practical installation support, and an engineering design service.
