Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) offer the flexibility and freedom to design and construct a structure exactly as you envisioned. The outcome is a home or building that is more energy-efficient, sustainable, and comfortable compared to those made with traditional materials such as wood or steel. Bring your dream project to life with ICFs and accessories that not only accelerate construction times but also provide limitless possibilities for various building applications.
Building
For
Future Generations
Dream it.
Your dream home should be beautiful, safe, and comfortable. With Insulated Concrete forms, or ICF’s, your house can be all that plus environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and resistant to natural disasters.
Build it.
Building an ICF Home, compared to wood framing, offers increased durability, low maintenance and peace of mind that your house will last for generations.
Live it.
An ICF Building has continuous exterior and interior insulation from the footing to all levels above grade, witch minimizes thermal bridging and creates an energy-efficient building envelope
Why Choose ICF Over Wood Construction?
Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) simplify and expedite the design and construction of energy-efficient and resilient structures.
For everyday comfort, ICFs significantly minimize thermal bridging, resulting in consistent temperatures throughout your home and enabling owners to save up to 60% on annual utility bills. Furthermore, ICFs effectively serve as a sound barrier, reducing outside noise from sources such as traffic, trains, and neighbors.
The walls made with ICF consist of reinforced concrete and fire-retardant Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, offering a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours—four times longer than a typical wood-frame structure. This provides occupants with additional time to safely evacuate during a fire.
Buildings constructed with ICFs also exhibit superior impact resistance to guard against debris and can be designed to endure natural disasters like tornadoes and hurricanes, ensuring the safety of their occupants. The concrete-embedded multi-purpose roof/truss anchor system offers enhanced resistance to wind uplift forces compared to conventional systems.
With these numerous benefits, structures built with insulated concrete forms and structural reinforced concrete provide increased comfort, extended durability, and lower life cycle costs when compared to wooden constructions.
IFC Wall System Benefits
RECYCLED MATERIALS - The ICF block systems are manufactured from EPS. The unique web design incorporates DURAFOLD Technology, which is made from 100% recycled polypropylene and steel.
BUILDING DURABILITY – ICF Blocks provide a structure made of concrete, renowned as one of the most durable and energy-efficient building materials. This results in buildings that endure over time. Additionally, these blocks offer maximum safety in high wind areas due to their high impact resistance.
WASTE REDUCTION – The innovative design of the ICF Blocks reduces waste generated during the construction process, contributing less to landfills. All waste is 100% recyclable.
MOLD RESISTANT - The forms have undergone laboratory testing confirming they do not support mold growth.
ENERGY PERFORMANCE - ICF Blocks significantly decrease carbon emissions owing to their high energy efficiency, which lowers the fossil fuels needed for heating and cooling, thus reducing your carbon footprint.
IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY – The elimination of air gaps minimizes the potential for mold growth and draft pathways. The result is an airtight structure that allows building mechanical systems to heat, cool, and ventilate the ICF block structure more effectively, fostering a healthier living and working environment for occupants.
Residental and Commercial Applications
ICF walls provide limitless design options for both residential and commercial projects. They enhance energy efficiency, offer exceptional durability, and ensure long-term cost savings. Additionally, ICF walls stand out with their unique features and disasterilient qualities, making them an excellent choice for any building endeavor.
