Formcraft wins green seal of approval

25 February 2010

Formcraft's ICF Building Systems have been highly rated by leading environmental and health assessor Ecospecifier. Ecospecifier, which recently completed its assessment of Formcraft's registered trademarks FormPro, FormDeck and FormTilt insulated concrete form (ICF) wall, slab and tilt panel systems, confirmed Formcraft as a leader in green building systems.

"Formcraft maximises the amount of recycled material used in all its products, especially the connection system. These products are inert, hypoallergenic and no CFCs are used in the production process."

"Formcraft's fast-track construction systems allow considerable savings in construction times and hence in construction costs. Use of this product may contribute to the achievement of Green Star credit points."

Based in Kewdale WA, with branches in all Australian states, Formcraft Pty Ltd is an Australian eco-tech building systems company which manufactures and supplies FormPro ICF for insulated concrete walls, and FormDeck and FormTilt insulated slab and concrete tilt panel systems. This suite of systems enables participation in "complete superstructure" installation to achieve greener construction outcomes.

With insulated concrete form (ICF) walls and slabs rapidly replacing other types of construction in building projects as demand for energy-efficient and sustainable building systems grows, Formcraft's strong environmental management policy and commitment to leading the development of sustainable construction systems have prompted growing uptake of its products.

Increasing numbers of architects and developers are utilising Formcraft ICF walls and slabs in "green focused" residential and commercial projects to achieve higher star energy ratings at affordable prices.

Formcraft supports the principles of  the Australian Government and the Green Building Council of Australia with regard to environmental sustainability. Formcraft's ICF systems are also fully compliant with the Australian Building Code.

Formcraft will be on display at the Master Builders Building & Home Improvement Expo from 9 - 11 July 2010 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
