Build energy-efficiently, quickly and cheaply!
The best construction system for low-energy houses with the innovative shuttering element made from Neopor®. Due to the new energy reforms, the demand for low-energy houses and passive houses has increased in recent years. At the same time, the demand for construction systems for kit houses that can be processed quickly and easily by non-professionals is increasing. After all, anyone who lends a hand when building a house can save on costs from the bottom slab shuttering to the roof.
ARGISOL® shuttering elements made of Neopor® and Styropor® meet the requirements for energy-efficient and cost-effective construction. ARGISOL® shuttering elements made of Styropor® have been used in construction since 1986. As a result of the further development of the raw materials at BASF, new shuttering elements were designed in 2004, namely the shuttering elements made from Neopor®. The highly thermally shuttering elements made from Neopor® can be processed quickly and adapted to any floor plan.

Fast, easy, cost-saving
One decisive advantage of ICF constructions is low wage costs: they are only 1/3 in comparison to traditional ways of building. To build with ARGISOL® is child’s play: due to the nubs even a layman is able to build in a truly aligned and plumb way. Furthermore, unfilled elements are very light and therefore make heavy building work much easier. ARGISOL® shuttering elements can be put up and filled in no time in comparison with brick walls. Last but not least, the ARGISOL® building system is more cost-saving than traditional ways of building.
Energy-conscious
Building in a traditional way means that high demands on heat protection can only be met by using additional heat insulation. By using double-sided Neopor® shuttering ARGISOL® allows you to achieve an incredible U-result of 0,27W/m²K. With ARGISOL® you will always get a low-energy house.
Comfortable room atmosphere
By insulating the inside wall, the wall surface temperature differs only by 1°Celsius from the room temperature. As a result, there is hardly any air circulation because of temperature differences in the room. Therefore, a comfortable feeling is achieved at any season of the year, summer and winter alike. Due to the solid concrete core, a reliable sound absorption parameter of Rw = 45 dB is achieved, which is a guarantee for quiet living.
Effective building
ARGISOL® provides optimal heat and sound insulation although the wall thickness is only 25cm. Your advantage, an increasse in living space! With an assumed floor space of 100m² about 4,5m² space is gained in comparision to a 36,5 cm wall.
Plan creatively
ARGISOL® building elements can be shortened in grids of 2,5cm with a simple saw. The diversity of ARGISOL® specials elements (corner, angle and arched stones) means they are easy to adapt to any ground-plan.
Building for the future
The ARGISOL® building system fulfills all demands, which are addressed nowadays to a recent construction material. Certification and inspection reports confirm the technological superiority of the ARGISOL® construction system.
Cost-efficient building with ARGISOL® Private-Residential-Building made of Styropor®/NEOPOR®
ARGISOL® Shuttering Elements fulfill the demands of energy-efficient and competitive construction. Used since 1986, the highly insulating shuttering elements made of Neopor allow fast construction and any ground plan. Find out more about our award-winning next-generation Argisol Building Systems product range.
Prefabricated construction by shuttering elements made of NEOPOR® and Styropor® – from floor slab – shuttering to complete shuttering
After the concreting process, the shuttering elements made of our Argisol ICF systems have a massive concrete core with integrated inner and outer wall insulation. Consequently, the house is perfectly insulated because the two-sided Shuttering made of NEOPOR® prevents almost all discharge of warmth to the outside. The slight difference of only one degree between room air and the wall surface prevents almost all room air movement.
Consequently, there is a cozy feeling of living all year round.
No matter how you decide to do it, it will be our pleasure to discuss with you personally about energy-efficient and economic construction with Shuttering Elements made of our Argisol ICF Building Systems.

Benefits of Argisol
Fire Resistance: ARGISOL has the European F90 approval, which indicates a period of 90 minutes or longer, during which the fire would not pass the wall. In a serious fire incident only the Neopor shuttering on the Outer wall of the Argisol Building System will start to melt at approx. 200°C. The covering could then start to flow, but would not drop down, The Argisol Building will not burn. ARGISOL has the sheet metal embedded which would not burn, not melt and not give any breakthrough the concrete to allow the fire to move behind an ARGISOL wall. This position was proven by rigorous tests conducted by the Technical University (TU) of Braunschweig Germany. Test Report will be made available on demand
Sound absorption parameter of Rw = 45 dB. This provides a guarantee for quiet living…No thermal bridging and air tightness make achieving Net Zero and Passive House standards closer from the outset
Accurate working method: Argisol provides design professionals, architects, real estate developers and contractors the freedom and versatility to design and build a structure the way it was envisioned. Shuttering elements can be put up and filled in much shorter time than brick or sandcrete walls. Unfilled wall elements are very light and therefore make heavy building work much easier. (Argisol builders suffer far less backaches!)
Quick and less complex realization of social housing projects: the diversity of Argisol building and special elements (corner, angle and arched stones) means that they are easy to adapt to any ground-plan
Training of construction personnel is provided in short and efficient Argisol education courses: with the Argisol system, builders
with minimal know-how, can quickly learn to build a truly professional housing product
Benefits of Argisol
Highest possible building strength and reliability provided by solid concrete construction technology: Argisol homes regularly survive earthquakes. The Argisol system is to be used for buildings up to 10 floors without steel framework, providing big savings in time and material.
Highest possible reduction of CO2 pollution in the private housing sector: by using the double-sided Neopor shuttering building system, home builders can achieve energy conservation below 0.27W/m²K, thus delivering a very low-energy consumption house
Optimal cooling even though the wall thickness is only 25cm or less (depending on house type and load bearing requirements): by insulating the inside wall, the wall surface temperature differs only by 1°Celsius from the room temperature. As a result, a comfortable feeling is achieved at any season of the year. If the room requires additional cooling using air conditioning, capacity of the installed air conditioner would be less than that required for building made from conventional materials. Also, as the cold or heat generated is retained for much longer, the duration of time for air-conditioning is reduced significantly. The Argisol system produces smaller air-conditioning bills.
Benefits of Argisol
The Argisol building system fulfils all the present and future demands for low-cost, energy-efficient and long- term strength and reliability in building construction.
Costs of building with Argisol are similar to building with brick and block or with SIPS but the “U” value (the rate of thermal transference: the better the insulation the lower the value) is better than Brick and Block by 10 scale points.
Highly effective insulation and air tightness creating an energy efficient home costing much less to run year on year in cooling costs for the Nigerian climate as has been proven in hotter climates like that of Abu Dhabi, the UAE Capital. With Argisol Zero-Carbon buildings can be achieved more easily.
Use of “Green Cement” would further enhance achievement of “Net Zero”.
Building with Argisol is all about building for the future.
