What is “ICF”? (Insulated Concrete Forms):
“ICF”
is an integrated building technology that is vastly superior to traditional stick frame methods. Building technology has seen
rapid advances in recent times, with builders and homeowners looking for newer more efficient ways to build homes that are
stronger, more comfortable and energy efficient, while allowing for flexibility of design and future maintenance costs. ICF
is a way of building that incorporates many factors including energy efficiency, sound and fire resistance, durability and
healthier living environments. Not only does this type of building provide up to 70% energy savings in both heating and cooling
over traditional wall systems, but is also serves as a barrier to many things. Trying to keep your home a healthy living environment
is hard. With this type of product, you can change that. ICF is a sound and air barrier. With these types of walls you do
not get the “un-wanted” outside are in your home. In fact, we actually put a fresh-air system inside the homes
because it is so air tight. The sound and wind resistance in one of these homes is unbelievable. These walls withstand up
to 250MPH winds! Also, building with ICF contributes to a healthier living environment. It does not support mold growth, so
the air in your home is not only fresher, but CLEANER!
