[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Stopwatch-icon-1.png\” title=\”Faster Construction\” style=\”2\”]ICF construction has introduced a new way to build walls at a much faster pace. ICF blocks are pre-formed and building with them is almost as easy at building with LEGOs. Simply stack, brace, and pour. Complete your project faster building with ICFs.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Triangle-ruler-icon.png\” title=\” Easily Shaped, Modified, and Stacked\” style=\”2\”]EPS foam is a light-weight, easy to cut material making adjustments and modifications simple. Cutting ICF blocks down to smaller sizes or creating a radius for curved walls is an easy task. The interlocking patterns on an ICF block are reversible and completely interchangeable making stacking and securing an easy task.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/feather-free-icon.png\” title=\” Light-Weight and Easy-to-Use\” style=\”2\”]ICF blocks are pre-assembled and composed of EPS foam and high-density plastic making them a light-weight material to handle. In addition, ICF blocks are designed with interlocking patterns in the foam to firmly secure them in place.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/recycle-icon.png\” title=\”Environmentally Friendly, Low-Waste Material\” style=\”2\”]ICFs are made using steam meaning no harmful CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are used and there is no degree of “off-gassing” during production. Furthermore, ICFs are incredibly easy to cut and modify resulting in far less waste and pollution on the job site.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Edit-page-icon.png\” title=\”Easily Adaptable for Any Design\” style=\”2\”]Building with ICFs will not limit your design capabilities. ICFs easy to cut and modify to install plumbing, electrical, skimmers, or any other attachment you might want. ICFs can be cut to create a radius for curved walls, but they are also available in corner and radius forms making it easy to form curves and shapes without any extra hassle. With ICFs, you can build virtually any and all pool designs.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Brick-icon.png\” title=\”More Consistent Wall Finish\” style=\”2\”]ICF pools are built using pre-formed blocks which results in straighter and smoother walls all the way around. Because ICF walls are extremely flat and much smoother, finishes, such as pool plaster, are also easier to apply.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Wrench-and-Screwdriver-free-icon-1.png\” title=\”Better Way To Build\” style=\”2\”] ICF pool construction is easier, faster, and more cost-effective than traditional methods. The stack, brace, and pour process greatly cuts down construction time and is simple enough for anyone to learn. ICFs are composed of EPS foam which is an easy material to cut and adapt making it easy to install electrical and plumbing systems, skimmers, or any other attachment you might want. This adaptability also saves on construction costs by eliminating waste. Waterproofing and finishes are easily applied to ICF walls allowing for virtually any pool design. Save time and money without compromising your desired design by building an ICF pool.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Power-generation-free-icon-1.png\” title=\”More Energy Efficient\” style=\”2\”]Most heat loss in pools occurs through the sides and bottom of the pools. ICF walls are made of EPS foam, steel, and concrete to create a solid, highly-insulating wall that can reduce heat loss by up to 80%. Energy-efficiency and heat loss are important factors to consider, especially for temperature regulated pools and areas in colder climates.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Save-money-in-Piggy-bank-free-icon-2.png\” title=\”Reduced Energy Costs\” style=\”2\”]While ICF pools save you money during construction, the greatest savings are long-term. The superior insulation that ICF walls create greatly reduces the required energy consumption to help you save on energy costs month after month.[/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/swimming-pool-icon-2.png\” title=\”Longer Swimming Season\” style=\”2\”]Keep your pool comfortable for longer and extend your swimming season by building it using ICFs. ICF pools can reduce heat loss by up to 80% compared to traditional pools making it cheaper and easier to control the temperature for a longer swimming season. [/list]

[list image=\”https://dev.icf-pools.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Infinity-mark-icon-1-2.png\” title=\”Greater Longevity\” style=\”2\”]EPS foam, steel rebar, and solid concrete create a pool won\’t ever weaken or decay. ICF walls have been proven to withstand damage from tornadoes, hurricanes, and even earthquakes. Invest in a pool that\’s built to last to ensure that you can enjoy it for years and years to come.[/list]

“Experts calculate that up to 80% of a pool’s heat is lost through the sides and bottom of the pool, due to the fact that the ground conducts heat far more efficiently than air does. Considering the surface areas involved, continuous insulation is the best choice.”
