Benefits of Licata’s ICF External Wall Insulation System
Licata’s ICF external wall insulation system combines high-performance building materials with advanced construction methods. Designed for UK projects, these systems use insulated concrete formwork (ICF) to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency. With features like breathable finishes and expanded polystyrene insulation, Licata provides reliable solutions for modern and traditional builds.
This formwork system also reduces thermal bridging, helping to lower energy costs while ensuring a durable, high-strength structure. Suitable for both new builds and refurbishments, Licata’s ICF systems promote sustainability and long-term value for property owners.
Superior Thermal Performance with Licata’s ICF Solutions
Licata’s ICF walls offer exceptional thermal insulation, delivering exceptional energy efficiency. The concrete core provides excellent thermal mass, ensuring consistent temperatures and reduced heat loss. This makes the system ideal for low-energy homes or projects prioritising energy efficiency.
Our ICF blocks use intermediate bedding materials to create a seamless build process that eliminates gaps and air leaks. This airtight design not only enhances energy efficiency but also reduces energy bills, making it a smart choice for UK builders and homeowners.
Custom Finishes for ICF Construction
With Licata, you can personalise your ICF walls with a variety of finishes, including render systems, masonry, and brick slips. Choose from over 700 colour options to match your project’s design. Whether you’re building a modern ICF home or restoring a property, Licata’s extensive range ensures every detail meets your vision.
Our acrylic and clay brick slips offer a traditional aesthetic with modern durability. These finishes are applied directly to the insulated concrete formwork, creating a sleek, weather-resistant exterior that’s easy to maintain.
Design Possibilities with Licata’s ICF Systems
Licata’s ICF construction enables unique architectural features, such as curved walls and large corner windows. The system’s lightweight foam blocks and durable concrete core allow builders to create expansive designs while maintaining structural integrity.
This modern method of construction also supports retaining walls and cantilever designs, making it versatile for residential and commercial projects. Licata’s expertise ensures every ICF system is installed to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
Weatherproofing and Durability in Licata’s ICF Walls
Licata’s ICF systems are designed to withstand UK weather conditions, offering superior protection against damp and water ingress. The formwork system ensures concrete is poured seamlessly, resulting in a durable, watertight structure.
From below-ground applications like basements to above-ground features, our ICF external wall insulation system ensures long-lasting performance. Combined with Licata’s 10-year product warranty, these solutions offer peace of mind for builders and property owners alike.
