Free estimating service
We offer a free estimating service which you can access simply by sending us a set of dimensioned drawings to the address you find at the "Contact" page. Alternatively you can email drawing files to us in CAD format if you prefer....
Amvic System Saves Trees
Worldwide deforestation adds 1-2 billion metric tons of carbon to the atmosphere annually! In order to protect our atmosphere and ourselves, it is essential to reduce the number of trees we cut down. Every Amvic home saves several trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and give us oxygen....
Amvic Reduces Energy Consumption & Harmful Emissions
Global warming is a direct result of harmful gas emissions released into the earth's atmosphere. Amvic ICF structures combine expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation and concrete thermal mass. This highly effective combination of materials minimizes temperature fluctuations by absorbing and storing heat. This equates to an average of approximately 30-50% reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling, which results in an equivalent reduction in harmful emissions. Furthermore, Amvic manufacturing centers use steam and cold water to produce ICFs. No CFC's, HCFC's, formaldehyde or any chemicals are used in Amvic's manufacturing process and no off-gassing is present....
Insect Prevention
Since there is no food value for insects in the Amvic ICF system, the possibility of structural damage due to insects like termites is entirely eliminated. Also, insects cannot penetrate the concrete core of an Amvic ICF wall and therefore cannot enter your home....
Amvic Is Mold Resistant
Traditional homes are constructed using organic materials such as wood, and are easily infiltrated by moisture which can result in the growth of mold and mildew. Amvic ICF homes virtually eliminate this problem since they are constructed using the highly effective combination of non organic materials, EPS and concrete....
Superior Insulation
Amvic ICF system replaces commonly used fiberglass insulation with expanded polystyrene (EPS). Traditional fiberglass insulation is a network of intertwined fibers which allows air to move though the gaps in the insulation. Amvic ICFs on the other hand consist of closed plastic cells that together with concrete walls prevent air movement creating an airtight seal around the entire perimeter of a building. Amvic ICF is the premium insulation choice for your long-term comfort....
Amvic Is Wind and Storm Resistant
Amvic ICFs are constructed with reinforced concrete, which tremendously increases strength and maximizes resistance to high winds and storms. In addition, drafts typically found where conventional floor joists rest on foundation walls, are considerably reduced due to the system's unique design....
Amvic Is Fire Resistant
Amvic ICFs are manufactured using only approved raw material bead with flame-retardant agents and have a 3 hour fire rating. Consequently, Amvic ICF homes provide much greater fire resistance than traditional "stick built" homes, making your home safe for you and your family....

Please send us any questions or suggestions you may have, and we will be happy to answer them. Select a contact way to help us in providing you with quick feedback. Tel: +4.021.369.33.99 AMVIC SRL is the exclusive license holder for Amvic Insulating Concrete Formwork System (or ICF for short) for Romania. With this Modern Method of Construction (MMC) you can build warm, comfortable places to live and work. Amvic ICF system is suitable for almost any kind of building, including:
A building constructed using Amvic ICF system will achieve far higher thermal, sound, and fire performance standards than traditional construction methods such as block or timber frame, and at a much lower cost for comparable performance than any other system available today. You can be assured that a building constructed using Amvic ICF will outperform your expectations in every way! |
The construction industry is evolving with the growing use of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).
