Building with Insulated Concrete Forms Can offer...
- Energy Efficiency
- Structural security and versatility
- Quiet & comfortable Environment
- Fire Rating of 1-2 Hours (depending upon block selection)
The ICF building method consists of combining steel reinforced concrete with high density expanded polystyrene, creating a quiet
home that is structurally more secure than traditional methods of construction. ICF walls are thicker than conventional framed walls and contain the depth and solidness of an adobe wall. The walls
are approximately 9" thick and provide excellent insulation and sound barrier properties. ICF forms are extremely versatile and can allow for rounded curves just as easily as square corners.
Molded-in furring strips provide solid attachments for any interior or exterior finish you may desire.
ICF construction offers you a quality home that is energy efficient
and comfortable. The ICF system can provide substantial savings on heating and cooling costs, as well as provide a more uniform temperature throughout the home. Whether you wish to remodel or
build a new home, building with ICF is worth considering.
