The magic of ICF (it’s truly the material of the future!)

The magic of ICF (it’s truly the material of the future!)

Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) is our favourite, most efficient and durable way to build a home. It makes your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter PLUS it saves money on utility bills. It’s a wonder that so many people (homeowners and industry professionals alike) still haven’t become experts in this magic material (unlike us, as we’ve made it our mission to be ICF experts).

Increasing the safety in your home or workplace

In light of the terrible tragedies we witnessed in 2017, have you ever wondered how long you would have to escape from a burning building? Well we have. At Shiel Developments, we are always looking to offer more than your average construction company. Nothing is more important to us than ensuring the homes and workplaces we build are as safe as they can be. At Shiel we believe in fitting non-flammable materials that don’t just meet building standards, but comprehensively outperform them.
