Add another panelInsulating concrete form (ICF) structures become even more energy-efficient with Extra Panel. Add one or more behind the exterior panel of a standard ICF wall during construction to create more thermal mass, and insulation values up to R-84. The panels are reversible and are molded to integrate with other ICF components. Longer 14-in. ties accommodate the added insulation thickness without sacrificing cavity width.
