Expanded Polystyrene For ICF's
molded expanded polystyrene
R-value is the measurement of thermal insulation.

ICF foam is rated on its thermal properties, density, strength, and resistance to wind and moisture. Foam density can have significant impact on the physical characteristics of the foam, especially thermal insulation (R-value), strength, and moisture retention.

Remember when working with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam has an R-value that ranges from 4.0 to 4.2 per inch when dry. Expanded polystyrene is the most common foam for ICF's. Expanded polystyrene is resistant to air infiltration and can be molded to create flat, grid, and post-and-beam cavities in block, panel and plank systems.

ICF's made of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam have an R-value of 5 per inch when dry regardless of density. Like expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene (XPS) is resistant to air infiltration, but stronger. It's ordinarily available in sheet form only and is more expensive than expanded polystyrene.

The below ground conditions in freezing or wet climates can degrade the foams R-value. For this reason extruded polystyrene and especially expanded polystyrene, should have moisture protection when used below grade to protect its R-value. According to the Building Foundation Design Handbook, expanded polystyrene in ground contact is best suited for application in well-drained situations. The correct waterproofing and drainage is a must. expanded polystyrene foam columns dimpled membrane provides permanent moisture protection while incorporating the proper drainage abilities, which protects your homes R-value. adhesive expanded polystyrene cement is becoming the preferred choice for Insulated Concrete Forms.
