Why choose Stax ICF?

Build Faster

One of our main priorities here at Stax is to help you move into your new home as quickly as possible. Using our product, a team can erect a pair of semi-detached houses from foundation to apex in approximately 12 days, substantially cutting programme time. ICF blocks are designed to fit together as large interlocking forms, allowing walls to be assembled quickly and efficiently on-site. Walls can be raised in all weather, unlike block based homes which require dry weather to build. Our centrally located hub allows us to deploy materials to any construction site in Ireland in a matter of hours. When you build with Stax, your logistical worries become a thing of the past. 

Reduce Costs

Controlling costs is always a major building concern. Here at Stax ICF we can cut the cost of building in comparison to blockwork in many different ways. Firstly, ICF insulates your home eliminating the need to purchase and install additional insulation. The lightweight nature of ICF reduces the necessity of using heavy machinery and significantly decreases labour time, therefore cutting costs. The speed at which we can build your walls means our houses are built quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively, allowing your overheads to stay competitive.

Stay Compliant

Stax ICF and our production partners guarantee the highest standards in quality and NZEB compliance. ICF construction helps achieve NZEB compliance by providing excellent levels of insulation, airtightness, and thermal performance. ICF helps deliver homes that are highly rated for energy efficiency, fire safety, and structural performance, allowing us to stay compliant with our builds.

Maximise Health & Safety

Safety is paramount in everything that we do. Stax ICF’s approach offers light and easy to handle material that requires no cranes or other heavy machinery to move material around the site. Combined with a reduced labour pool needed to implement an ICF construction, this adds up to a significantly reduced risk of on-site injury.

Optimise Energy Efficiency

Optimum air-tightness and soundproofing is easily achieved with Stax ICF. Houses built with our ICF products regularly exceed soundproofing standards of >53db and easily surpass air-tightness levels of 3ac/h. ICF construction provides continuous insulation on both sides of the concrete core, significantly reducing heat loss and improving overall thermal performance. This results in lower energy consumption, reduced heating costs, and a more comfortable indoor environment throughout the year. Building with Stax will ensure you have an A2-rated energy efficient home, thanks to the built-in insulation of ICF.
