Thermalite® insulated concrete forms is a unique stay-in-place system for building concrete foundations and walls. Used in the new construction of custom-built concrete homes, Thermalite consists of interlocking polystyrene panels and polypropylene ties. When assembled, the ties form a bridge between two panels and the concrete is poured through to form the foundation and walls.

Building with Thermalite saves time and money for the contractor. Installation is fast and simple. Thermalite also contributes to peace of mind, personal security and cost-savings for the homeowner.

While Thermalite’s components are very lightweight and easy to pack, ship, store and install, they strengthen concrete foundations and walls. Thermalite’s product makes your home and/or office a much safer place to be because of it’s two-hour fire rating, its ablilty to withstand winds of up to 140 mph and its increased resistant to earthquakes.

With thermal values possibly exceeding R-20, Thermalite can significantly reduce home heating and cooling costs. As a result, the homeowner can save up to 80% on energy bills. This advantage also conserves precious resources, which helps the natural environment.

Thermalite is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, ICFA, and is UL approved by Omega Point Laboratories.
