INSULATION + STRUCTURE

Insulation and reinforced concrete work together in one wall system.

HURRICANE & EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT

Engineered for strength in demanding tropical conditions.

WHY BETTERBLOCK ICF?

BetterBlock ICF combines reinforced concrete strength with continuous insulation to create durable, efficient pool structures well suited to demanding tropical conditions in Costa Rica.

SUPERIOR STRENGTH

Reinforced concrete construction provides exceptional structural strength for durable pool walls and long-term performance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Continuous EPS insulation helps reduce heat transfer through pool walls, supporting more stable water temperatures and efficient operation.

GREATER COMFORT

Insulated pool walls can help maintain more consistent water temperatures for a more comfortable swimming environment.

QUIETER INTERIORS

A solid insulated concrete pool structure helps create a substantial, durable shell designed for long-term use.

FASTER CONSTRUCTION

The ICF system combines formwork, insulation and structural wall construction into an efficient building process.
