Question about walling

simon333 · 2008-05-05 07:29:06

Hey, I had a look at a house in an estate, and I'm wondering about your comments on the type of walling. Attached is the polystyrene structure that they fill with cement, and then put plasterboard in front of. Is this type of walling respectable? Is it acceptable? Simon

there are two systems in ireland with iab certification

3 or maybe 4 more have bba certification

render , not plasterboard , is used externally

it is know as ICF - insulated concrete formwork

use a certified product - it is a great way to build

Thanks, sinnerboy. It's good to know the name of the method at least

I guess the only way to know if this estate is certified is to ask the builder.
