WHY BETTERBLOCK ICF?
BetterBlock ICF combines reinforced concrete strength with continuous insulation to create durable retaining-wall systems suited to demanding sites, heavy rainfall and tropical conditions in Costa Rica.
SUPERIOR STRENGTH
Reinforced concrete construction provides the structural strength needed for durable retaining walls and long-term performance.
PERMANENT ICF FORMS
BetterBlock ICF forms stay in place around the reinforced concrete core, creating an efficient permanent forming system.
ENGINEERED FOR THE SITE
Reinforced concrete retaining walls can be engineered for the loads, heights and site conditions of each project.
CONTINUOUS CONCRETE CORE
A continuous reinforced concrete core provides a robust wall system for landscaping, grade changes and demanding terrain.
FASTER CONSTRUCTION
The ICF system combines formwork, insulation and structural wall construction into an efficient building process.
BUILT FOR COSTA RICA
Retaining-wall construction can be designed for Costa Rica's terrain, heavy rainfall and demanding tropical conditions.
THE BETTERBLOCK ICF CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
A streamlined building system that moves from foundation to strong, insulated reinforced-concrete walls.
1
FOUNDATION & LAYOUT
Prepare the reinforced foundation and layout for the BetterBlock ICF wall system.
→
2
ICF WALL INSTALLATION
Interlocking BetterBlock forms are stacked to create the insulated wall assembly.
→
3
REINFORCEMENT
Steel reinforcement is installed according to the structural requirements of the project.
→
4
CONCRETE PLACEMENT
Concrete is poured into the ICF forms to create the reinforced monolithic structural core.
→
5
BUILDING ENVELOPE
The completed ICF walls provide structure and continuous insulation in one integrated system.
→
6
FINISHED WALL SYSTEM
Strong, insulated BetterBlock ICF walls ready for finishes and designed to perform for decades.
