Creating strong, energy-efficient, and quiet walls

Ambionse Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) offer a superior way to build robust, long-lasting exterior walls. Its durable concrete core provides outstanding strength and stability, while its fire rating of up to four hours ensures peace of mind and safety for homeowners.

Ambionse has an insulation value of R 3.0, delivering excellent thermal performance, energy efficiency, and acoustic comfort – achieving a sound rating of STC 53 (250 series) for a quieter home.

Ideal for residential homes, commercial buildings, and apartments, Ambionse Polyblocks are equally effective for foundation and footing walls, retaining and basement walls, and intertenancy partitions, where thermal and sound control are crucial. Their versatility also makes them a practical choice for swimming pool walls, fencing, landscaping, and garden edging – offering a complete, all-in-one solution for both structural and aesthetic needs.
