Amvic ICF System

Info:  Can be used for almost any kind of building, including residential developments, commercial units, industrial buildings, self-build homes and extensions, basement and earth sheltered development. It is a cost effective method of construction that is more sustainable and environmentally friendly than standard masonry or timber frame.

Amvic is the most user-friendly ICF on the market due to its innovative design, which increases speed of construction, reduces labour costs and provides the highest level of performance during and after construction. The powerful combination of the patented, reversible FormLock™ interlock, EPS composition, innovative web design and web spacing result in a truer system, that requires less support during installation; less wastage when compared against other ICF systems; the ability to withstand internal concrete vibration, ensuring a structurally superior wall.


Dynamight Passive Energy Systems

Info:  Sustainability is turning Britain’s building industry upside down and offering new hope for all our futures. Many house builders who want to be energy efficient can often be left confused by colorful promises and offers for various expensive renewable technologies. What is often missing is a holistic approach which takes all components into consideration and shows what is actually needed to maximize the energy efficiency.

With a modern build home in passive house standard you can save a stunning 90% of your heating cost and you will just need a small back up heating which provides the additional boost in case it gets very cold outside. The passive house concept uses the principles of all-around super-insulation, avoiding of all cold bridging, very good air tightness (10 times better than the current standard) and maximizing solar gains. Along with an optimized thermal envelope comes mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, which provides the home constantly with fresh, filtered air, while hardly any heat is being lost.

The principle is quite simple. A conventional house leaks lots of heat out of the walls, windows, doors, the roof and the floor and needs heat pumped into it constantly to keep up the temperature. That’s why we made it our business to take on the whole package from building the house with a very simple but fantastic flat back system and with highly insulated windows with a U-value’s down to 0.63 W/m2k. We also can install a comfort ventilation and heating system which recovers 99% of your inside heat and does not disappear out of the window.
