ICF Construction in County Wicklow
Build your County Wicklow new home or extension with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). Achieve superior storm resilience, airtight thermal performance, and year-round comfort. Our certified specialist teams install Amvic, Nudura, Logix, and Quad-Lock systems directly to your structural engineering specifications.
Why Wicklow self-builders choose ICF
From exposed coastal sites in Bray and Greystones to hillside plots in Enniskerry and the Wicklow Mountains, ICF delivers unmatched weather protection and thermal comfort.
Dual EPS formwork layers eliminate thermal bridging at junctions, corners, and floor slabs. Walls achieve U-values between 0.11 and 0.15 W/m²K with airtightness under 0.6 ACH.
Solid reinforced concrete core withstands severe coastal gales, driving rain, and mountain temperature extremes without degrading or requiring maintenance.
A 300m² Wicklow detached home is erected, reinforced, and poured in 2 to 3 weeks. Rain does not stop wall assembly, allowing roof trusses and internal trades to proceed rapidly.
Bespoke aluminium window sills by Cills.ie
Standard precast sills create massive cold bridges on deep ICF walls. We fabricate custom powder-coated aluminium window sills in our Inchicore workshop, engineered specifically for 300mm–400mm ICF reveals with welded watertight upstands and thermal isolation.
Common questions about ICF in County Wicklow
Why is ICF ideal for coastal and mountain builds in County Wicklow?+
Wicklow builds face harsh maritime weather along the coast (Bray, Greystones, Arklow) and intense cold and high rainfall in mountain areas (Enniskerry, Roundwood, Blessington). Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) provide an unbroken monolithic concrete envelope with dual-layer EPS insulation. This achieves thermal transmittance as low as 0.11 W/m²K, extreme wind and storm resistance, and zero air infiltration.
Which ICF systems do you build with across County Wicklow?+
We install all NSAI and BBA certified ICF systems used in Ireland, including Amvic, Nudura, Logix, Quad-Lock, Fox Blocks, Beco, and Castleforms. We review your structural engineer's drawings and construct the wall shell strictly to the engineered rebar and concrete specification.
How fast can an ICF house shell be built on a Wicklow hillside site?+
An ICF structural shell for a typical 250m² to 350m² detached Wicklow home is erected, reinforced, and poured in 2 to 3 weeks. The lightweight EPS formwork is easily handled on sloping or restricted mountain sites, and the monolithic concrete core provides retaining wall strength where required by engineering drawings.
How do your crews manage site logistics and concrete pours in Wicklow?+
Our operations base is at Unit 20, Westlink Industrial Estate, Kylemore Road, Inchicore, Dublin 10 (D10 TD35), just 25 to 45 minutes from North and Mid Wicklow via the M50 and N11 corridors. We coordinate directly with local Wicklow ready-mix concrete plants and boom pump operators for controlled, multi-lift perimeter pours.
How are window sills detailed on deep Wicklow ICF walls?+
ICF walls have a finished thickness of 300mm to 400mm. Standard precast concrete sills cannot span this depth safely and create severe cold bridges. We fit custom powder-coated aluminium window sills fabricated by our sister company, Cills.ie, in our Inchicore yard. Each sill includes welded watertight upstands, thermal separation pads, and extended drip projections.
How do I get a quote for my Wicklow ICF build?+
Email us your architectural plans and structural engineer's drawings (PDF / CAD). We calculate exact wall surface areas, EPS block schedules, rebar steel weights, and concrete volume, delivering a comprehensive, fixed-price supply and installation quotation.
