I am surprised the about the claim for zero blow outs. It doesn't make sense how that would be possible. Not sure where exactly this specific claim is coming for, but Durisol material itself is MUCH stronger than polystyrene, it is often referenced as "woodchip"-based light concrete. In Europe, people are actually building 3 storey houses out of woodchip concrete solid blocks as their compression strength can easily go up to 3 mPA, it also can bend quite well and it is really hard to break the block even with a sledgehammer.

The only downside I see with ICF is the issue of blow outs.
