We're proud to say the Durisol system has thermal bridging Psi values that are better than accredited details #PSBPcomfort

Durisol ICF is made from woodcrete - recycled waste wood which is chipped into wood fibre, mineralised and bonded together with cement.

Woodcrete is:
✔️ Highly energy efficient
✔️ Non-toxic
✔️ Fireproof
✔️Vermin resistant
✔️ Eco-friendly

This Durisol self-build is a 5-bedroom detached home near Perth, Scotland.

The owner worked on this alone and completed the structure ready for the roof in just two months. This project perfectly illustrates the ease and speed of building with Durisol ICF.

Durisol ICF can deliver very high insulation levels and airtightness in the building fabric, so it can contribute to meeting Passivhaus standards.
If you're aiming to achieve Passivhaus in your new build, please get in touch to discuss how Durisol can help you achieve your goal.

Durisol is manufactured in the UK using predominantly locally sourced materials.

Buying British not only reduces your carbon footprint but it also reduces the length of time you'll have to wait to get started on your build.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

If you're building in the Channel Islands, you can source Durisol ICF from our stockists Pentagon Builders Merchants in Jersey (https://t.co/WLPqoxoF7Q).

They've just taken delivery of a large order for the first Durisol houses on Jersey.

We're jealous of that blue sky!

If you're building your dream home in your dream location you want to make the most of the view. The Durisol build system easily accommodates the forming of large openings so you can that room with a view.

This two-storey, five-bedroom house (350-metre square footprint) is a Durisol self-build. The owners wanted to create a spacious & thermally efficient new-build home that would need little to no heating.

This Durisol build on the east coast of Scotland is toasty warm inside thanks to the thermal performance of the Durisol units.
The concrete core creates a high thermal mass structure, which absorbs and releases heat, maintaining a stable temperature inside.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

We were out in the rain last week checking on the progress of this Durisol build before the 1st concrete pour. Using D365 for the walls will deliver outstanding U-values & high thermal mass. The house has large windows as well as solid floors & will be clad in stone & timber.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

This Durisol build in Birmingham city centre will be a four-storey house. So far, all the walls are up to the third course above slab, with dpc installed.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

This stunning 30-square metre floating landing was achieved by cantilevering the balcony over a four-metre Durisol lintel. Also, three steel beams were anchored into the concrete of the outside wall above the front door.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

We made a site visit last week to check on the progress of these Victorian-style villas in Devon. They're looking pretty smart! Durisol D365 were used for the envelope, below ground & retaining walls with Durisol D250 for party walls. The exterior has been finished with render.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

We built some trial Durisol walls for a client. Three of us (in torrential rain) built 16m2 in 40 minutes. That’s the equivalent of 32m2 in traditional masonry where an inner and outer skin are required. Plus its recycled, strong, thermally efficient and comes pre insulated.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

We partner with @hickslogistics to deliver the Durisol ICF units to site. Durisol will normally be delivered on a curtain side lorry but we can make alternate arrangements if access is tight.

The units are so light that that can be manoeuvred on site with just a pallet truck.

[EcoBriX UK @DurisolUK]

When you're building with Durisol ICF, you only need to use props for openings. Before the concrete pour using plywood as bracing to support corners, cut units, ends of walls etc. will prevent possible movement during the concrete pour.

3 storms in 3 days. The structural stability of the nation's homes was tested this weekend! A home built with Durisol ICF has a concrete frame, which gives it exceptional structural strength. Durisol buildings are so strong that they've withstood hurricanes & earthquakes.
