Hamilton, ON -- Durisol Building Systems accustomed the Green Log Award for Best Green Building System in acceptance of its charge to accouterment a top performance, absolutely blooming artefact for the architecture industry.

Durisol Insulated Concrete Forms

The Green Log Award is accepted to Durisol Building Systems "…in adjustment to locate and flash a spotlight on those companies and individuals who are enabling convalescent homes and lifestyles." The Durisol Wall Form System is the aboriginal cloistral accurate anatomy - ICF, and was accustomed in 2008 as arena an important role in authoritative homes and businesses greener.

"We are appreciative to be at the beginning of allowance body a greener world, one architecture at a time," said Vipul V. Acharya, admiral of Durisol Building Systems. "It shows that the architecture area can play a administration role in abbreviation our ecology footprint."

The proprietary Durisol actual is a cement-bonded copse cilia blended that incorporates decay barge and accepted Portland cement. Originally patented in Switzerland in 1946, Durisol articles accept been bogus in North America back 1953.

How Durisol ICF works

The Durisol cloistral accurate basic arrangement (ICF) is a aboveboard adjustment of architecture a able accurate bank with complete thermal, acoustical and blaze protection. The bank forms are chain modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and abounding with accurate and reinforcing steel.

The Durisol arrangement has accomplished acceptance with contractors because of the affluence with which walls can be constructed. The Durisol actual is calmly cut, nailed and busted with simple carpenter tools. The Wall Forms are failing and thermally careful which allows simple winter architecture after any added heating. The different free-draining Durisol actual allows the use of high-slump accurate in the acreage that makes for easier and faster accurate cloudburst and ensures a solid bank after any accommodation in strength. Interior and exoteric finishes are activated anon to the Durisol material, eliminating consecutive accomplish in the architecture process. Drywall can be absorbed anywhere on the Wall Form surface, while the open-textured attributes of accustomed Durisol makes it an ideal substrate for plasters and adhesive (mesh is still recommended). Standard adhesive mixes activated anon to the Durisol actual aftereffect in a accomplishment that is beneath big-ticket and added appulse aggressive than accepted EIFS systems.

The Wall Form units are accessible in a array of widths and insulation configurations that actualize a arrangement that is flexible, architecture affable and optimized for anniversary specific application. Wall array can ambit from 6" to 14" blubbery and insulation ethics can ambit amid R-8 and R-28. A key affection of the Durisol arrangement is that majority of the insulation aural the artefact is positioned appear the exoteric of the wall, consistent in added activity ability that is not accessible with added cloistral accurate forms

Since 1953, Durisol articles accept been chip in every blazon of architecture application. The inherent insulation value, the 4 hour blaze rating, the affluence and acceleration of architecture and the damp aggressive capabilities accomplish the arrangement incomparable for a lot of architecture projects.
