EPS / ICF / Polystyrene Block Construction


Render Systems for EPS / ICF / Polystyrene Block Construction



Overview

EPS / ICF / Polystyrene block construction is a snap together hollow block, constructed for a reinforced concrete mass masonry core that is pored into the supported EPS block walls. An established method in the New Zealand construction industry, combining the values and properties of diverse materials.

 

EPS / ICF / Polystyrene block is light, quick and easy in its installation, giving the designer the ability to form straight and curved walls with exceptional insulation and acoustic properties. The StoArmat Render System is fracture, impact resistant and engineered to provide optimal protection and finish with warranty, to compliment, protect and enhance this building element.
