-ICFp (Insulated Composite Concrete Prefab Wall Panels) is a more affordable alternative to traditional ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction.
-Costs less than original ICF while offering slightly faster construction.
-Manufactured in Cebu, Manila, and Tagbilaran (Bohol); projects outside these areas may incur shipping costs.
-Panels are factory-made using concrete mixed with EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) insulation and finished with smooth drywall on both sides.
-Uses the same EPS insulating material found in traditional ICF systems.
-Not load-bearing, so the building requires conventional reinforced concrete columns and beams.
-Smooth factory finish reduces plastering, patching, and painting time, resulting in faster project completion.
-Provides thermal insulation performance similar to traditional ICF, helping keep homes cooler and reducing air-conditioning costs.
-Wall thickness is typically 5–6 inches, compared to 10.5–11 inches for traditional ICF walls.
-Traditional ICF features a solid reinforced concrete core with EPS insulation on both sides, making it a load-bearing wall system.
-The key difference is the construction method:
–ICF: Concrete is poured into insulated forms on-site.
–ICFp: Concrete and EPS are combined and manufactured into wall panels at the factory.
-ICFp offers a practical balance of affordability, energy efficiency, and faster installation for residential construction.
