Why ICF
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) offer numerous benefits for both builders and homeowners alike. From green building to disaster resilience, ICF homes stand a cut above traditionally constructed home. Here, our experts explain exactly why ICF should be your top choice of building material.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Walls with a thick concrete core, sandwiched between thick insulated panels of EPS foam, provide extreme strength and durability. This material will last for lifetimes, keeping your home stable, comfortable and energy efficient. ICF forms will reduce the cost of heating and cooling your home by up to 60% compared to a similar conventionally framed home.
PEACE & QUIET
ICFs have a high STC rating which means shouting outside the walls cannot be heard. Noisy neighbors, busy streets, trains, planes, and other annoyances stop at the walls – letting you enjoy your home in peace.
