Re: ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) using Reward Structures. - Is this an expensive qu
Something we can both agree on.
As an update, my reward quote for 0.21 u-value was 43k for the external walls as I've stated earlier. The Eurozone quote arrived and its 71k for a 0.15 u-value for the same external walls. The funny thing on this one is that the supply only price for Eurozone was half their price. The supply only option from Reward was 3/4 their price. How could the same amount of concrete and less labour for the Eurozone system mean such a big difference in the labour quote?
Based on some initial numbers I've run it would appear a 0.15 u-value is now achieved in the cheapest way using a single leaf of 4 inch solids on the flat externally insulated with 230mm of STOs EPS external insulation system (i.e. STO classic). This is based on a ball park figure from STO of €100 per metres squared + VAT for the 230mm.
Thankfully a consumer can now get a bigger bang for his buck.
