ICF Pools & Spas
What is ICF?
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) pools are the gold standard in premium energy-efficient pools and offer timeless enjoyment for you and your family for many years to come. Pools constructed with ICF dramatically reduce the energy consumption of operating your pool, without any limitations on your pool design or finish.
80% of a pool's heat is lost through the sides and bottom because the ground conducts heat more efficiently than the surface air. This insulation results in a dramatic reduction in heat loss, resulting in significant cost savings over the life of your pool.
The ICF Advantage
Environmental Benefits
ICF blocks use steam in manufacturing with no harmful CFCs created. ICF blocks are easy to cut and result in less waste on the job site.
Energy Efficient
ICF pools significantly reduce heat loss through the sides and bottom of the pool, where 80% of heat loss occurs, while helping to extend your pool season by up to two months.
Better Way to Build
ICF construction is easier, faster and more cost-effective than traditional pool-building methods.
Design Opportunities
ICF construction lets you build virtually any pool, swim spa or hot tub. ICF pools result is straighter, smoother walls with a variety of finishing options.
Faster Construction
ICF blocks are pre-formed and installed on-site, allowing the pool installation to be customized for your individual pool design.
Built to Last
ICF walls withstand damage from tornadoes, hurricanes, and even earthquakes. Investing in a pool built to last ensures you will enjoy it for years to come.
Why Choose an ICF Pool?
ICF form pools offer clients vast creativity to create their custom designs right in their backyard. ICF pools can be built efficiently and reduce the maintenance need with concrete or traditional pools. A regular concrete pool requires stringent upkeep and expensive water treatments to avoid weakening the walls. Without this maintenance routine, a concrete pool is prone to moisture penetration, needing expensive resurfacing of the entire pool.
There is no cracking or algae growth with ICF construction because it protects your walls with waterproof material. ICF has all the flexibility of cement without any of the challenges. There is no need for erosion control measures or heavy cleaning chemicals to keep bacteria on surfaces both inside and out.
ICFs are more efficient than fibreglass or vinyl since they are lightweight. The construction process entails stacking blocks and connecting each one at every point until you have an incredibly sturdy structure. These blocks keep everything safe right through extreme weather conditions.
ICF blocks are easy to cut and modify, so alterations for design specifications are straightforward to accomplish. For example, building an ICF pool is more manageable. However, the finished product features benefits that you can't get with concrete, fibreglass or vinyl. Thanks to the insulation provided by EPS foam between ICF walls, energy consumption decreases, and monthly utility bills go down too. With a solid steel-reinforced structure that lasts longer than other pools, not many materials can compete against this type of pool for strength, not even concrete! Consider an ICF pool for your new backyard, and unleash your creativity.
