Polarwall Formwork
Since 2002, Polarwall Insulating Formwork has been a preferred choice for builders looking to achieve energy efficiency in their projects, with numerous successful implementations across the UK and Europe. This innovative system not only enhances thermal performance but also reduces construction time, particularly in insulated concrete formwork construction.
Our Builds
These structures encompass a diverse range of designs, including contemporary houses, traditional homes, high-rise apartment blocks, educational institutions, community centres, and commercial buildings. Each project showcases the versatility and effectiveness of Polarwall Insulating Formwork in meeting various architectural demands.
Our Experience
With over 20 years of expertise in the manufacturing and installation of insulated concrete formwork systems, we have developed a reputation for excellence. Our commitment to innovation keeps us at the forefront of the industry, as we continuously seek to improve our products and services.
A Different ICF
Unlike many conventional ICF systems that rely on moulded blocks of Expanded Polystyrene, Polarwall utilises Extruded Polystyrene planks. This choice enhances adaptability and allows for greater design flexibility, accommodating various architectural styles without the restrictions faced by other systems.
Best Materials
Our commitment to material quality is unwavering. We exclusively use Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) in our formwork systems due to its superior mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and thermal performance. While XPS comes at a higher cost, the benefits in structural integrity and energy efficiency justify the investment.
Pricing
“How much does an ICF build cost” is a common question. We try to be fully transparent on our material costs. This link will give you our current 2026 price list on our range of most common materials. Price list
