Ecobrix ICF Woodcrete is a Modern Method of Construction, MMC, which significantly reduces the cost of construction, reduces pollution and resource consumption while providing superior energy efficiency for the homeowner.
Discover how Ecobrix ICF Woodcrete MMC outperforms traditional building methods such as brick and block, block and block, timber frame, and even polystyrene-grade ICF. ICF Woodcrete blocks have been used to build homes across the world since the 1930s, but only now is their true potential being fully recognised. We are uniquely placed as the only ICF Woodcrete manufacturer in the United Kingdom based in Caerphilly. We are supplying a multitude of sites across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
