Insulated concrete forms are hollow blocks or panels made of expanded polystyrene or other insulating foam that can be stacked to complete the form of a building’s walls. Their interiors are filled with concrete to build the entire structure. An insulated concrete form sandwiches a heavy, high-strength material between two layers of light and highly insulated foam. This combination imparts properties such as air-tightness, strength, sound attenuation, and insulation to the wall.  Insulated concrete forms are classified based on various characteristics such as their sizes, configuration of the forms, and shape of the concrete core created within the forms. Buildings erected with such walls exhibit a uniform temperature through the entire day and night. Insulated concrete forms can be polished with almost any interior and exterior finish, including siding or brick veneer. They have the ability to assume any shape, as a wooden or metallic frame.
