What is Ecobrix?

Woodcrete ICF - fossilised wood, built for the future

Ecobrix wall form units are made of woodcrete - recycled wood mixed with cement - as strong as conventional blockwork, with the thermal efficiency of timber and PIR insulation built into every unit.

Hollow units dry-stack directly onto the foundation and fill with ready-mix concrete. No mortar. No propping. Buildable in all weathers - including sub-zero temperatures.

Who We Serve

What type of builder are you?

Ecobrix ICF suits all types of construction - individual self-build homes to large residential and commercial projects. The same system, every scale.

Six reasons to build with Ecobrix

Full Details
01

Thermal Efficiency

U-values of 0.15 or under. PSI values 0.04–0.08. Passive House within reach on every project without additional external insulation.

02

Fire Resistance

Certified 90 minutes, tested to 4 hours at 1100°C to BS476: Pt 20. Woodcrete won't burn or rot. Considerably exceeds UK and European requirements.

03

Cost Saving

Up to 30% cheaper than traditional brick and block. British manufacturing means stable pricing unaffected by currency fluctuation or import delays.

04

Sustainability

60% recycled wood from timber by-products. Once mineralised, the embedded carbon is permanently captured. Net carbon cost approaches neutral.

05

Speed of Build

Dry-stacked with no mortar, no propping, buildable in all weathers. Significantly faster programme than cavity masonry on equivalent projects.

06

Acoustic Performance

Significant concrete mass delivers excellent sound reduction - ideal for terraced housing, hotels, and mixed-use developments.
