ECO FRIENDLY
At NUDURA we are committed to improving the building process by manufacturing products that have minimal impact on the environment. NUDURA combines the use of polystyrene (EPS) foam with reinforced concrete. The synergy of these materials forms a structure that is extremely energy efficient, air tight and moisture resistant. Building with NUDURA conserves valuable environmental resources Visit our green building section at http://www.nuduraicfs.co.uk for more information.
NUDURA TECHNOLOGY
1)
DURA
LOK
Technology™
Our patented Fastening Strip securely locks forms into place with a patented
reversible triple tooth interlock eliminating float and compression and the need to tie forms. The DURALOK
Technology™ has embedded
web/fastening strips that run the full 457mm height of each and every web, ensuring forms do not compress during concrete placement and provide and industry leading continuous fastening strip for finish materials.
2)
DURA
FOLD
Technology™
Our Patented Hinged Web allows NUDURA to be shipped flat, allowing for 40% more product on a lorry compared to other Insulated Concrete Forms. The patented technology also eliminates costly assembly time on the job site and allows one person the ability to easily carry 3.345 square metres of wall form from the lorry to the storage area and allows greater on-site storage capabilities.
3)
DURA
MAX
Technology™
NUDURA® Standard Forms offer DURAMAX Technology™
the largest standard Insulated Concrete Form in the industry measuring 2438mm x 457mm, allowing the placement of 1.115 square metres of wall area in one building step. Building with DURAMAX Technology™ results in faster installation times, less waste and a reduced amount of seams compared to other Insulated Concrete Forms.
4)
4-WAY REVERSIBLE
System
The patented foam interlock allows the form to be 4 way reversible, almost eliminating waste.
Eliminates left and right corners which allow NUDURA Forms to be used in twice as many scenarios as non reversible forms. The NUDURA 4-Way Reversible system offers superb flexibility in-field, automatically doubling form usage whenever a half height form may be required, virtually eliminating waste when constructing gable end walls, since both halves of the cut form can be used.
CODE APPROVALS & TRAINING
NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms are tested to the highest standards providing the safest, most comfortable living or working environments and actively maintains a wide variety of code approvals for the UK and Europe.
NUDURA actively maintains ETA Certification through the BBA. For more information visit http://www.nuduraicfs.co.uk
First Net Zero Energy Public School the United States being built using NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms.
When Richardsville Elementary School opens in 2010, this school will be the first Net Zero Energy Public School in the United States.
The designation of net-zero for this building means that it will be so energy efficient that over the course of a year, its solar energy panels (over 3716m2 mounted on rooftop and support structures) will offset the electricity it takes from the grid. The building will have reduced energy consumption - 75 percent less when compared to the national average energy consumption of school buildings.

We invite contractors, architects, engineers and design professionals to attend and learn more about the benefits of building with NUDURA. The one day course covers the use of NUDURA's Integrated Building Technology line and the basic installation procedures used in the construction field for concrete homes, institutional and commercial structures. NUDURA has completed projects throughout the world and been responsible for projects such as, a 4 storey apartment block on the south coast of Sussex, homes on the Orkney Islands of Scotland, been used in multiple other above and below grade projects, and been used for extensions because of the ease of use and versatility. NUDURA has also been recognised by the insurance industry, LABC, NHBC, and Premier Guarantee as New Home Warranty providers and is a proud member of the Super-E program ( www.super-e.com )
