ABOUT ECOBRIX
How Are Ecobrix Made ?
ECOBRIX source softwood fibre from recyclers who process waste wood. They supply to an exact specification with all foreign materials (nails etc.) removed from the waste wood.
The wood fibre is firstly mineralised, which turns it inert.
The wood fibre is then mixed with cement and other chemicals in a concrete batching plant which has been specially adapted for this process.
The woodcrete wall form units are laid out on the factory floor and covered with polythene. This stops the water in the mix evaporating whilst the chemical reaction between the materials sets the block units. This chemical reaction produces so much heat that the manufacturing facility does not require any heating.
New insulated concrete form units set to dry in Ecobrix UK factory It takes approximately 24 hours for the wall form units to set on the floor after which time they are picked up with hydraulic grabs and transported to an interim storage area to continue curing.
Three days later the Ecobrix units go through a trimming process which ensures they are within a very tight tolerance. Once an order has been placed, the ICF units are insulated and wrapped on a pallet to await delivery. To ensure they are properly cured the wall form units must be at least 30 days old prior to delivery.

Sustainable Recycled Materials
ECOBRIX woodcrete ICF wall form units are a truly green and healthy product. Our environmentally friendly ICF forms use recycled material, softwood aggregates that are by-products of the timber industry
THERMAL EFFICIENCY
ECOBRIX wall form units are designed so that the insulation is external to the concrete core and wraps around the full envelope of the wall, reduced heating costs as heat is transferred back into the cooler air
EASY TO USE
One of the principal benefits of the ECOBRIX system is the ease of construction. It’s a simple to use build system, which can be managed by both experienced contractors as well as first-time self-builders.
FIRE RESISTENT
ECOBRIX woodcrete wall form units have attained European levels of fire resistance, 90-minute certified fire rating, which are considerably higher than the UK regulations.
ACCOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
The considerable concrete mass in a ECOBRIX wall system when used in conjunction with appropriate finishes provides an excellent reduction in sound transmission.
BRITISH MANUFACTURED
ECOBRIX woodcrete wall form units are manufactured at our factory in the UK giving us complete control of the production process and ensures we maintain our high standards.
