Why Build with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs)?
• Better Energy Efficiency & Environmental Responsibility • Strong, effective insulation quality provides energy efficiency far superior to other building materials. • Low air infiltration through finished ICF wall • Permanent performance with no downgrading over time • Shifts thermal loading from peak periods • This level of energy efficiency reduces dependence on fossil fuels and represents a sound, proven green building practice. • Better Durability & Improved Safety • High wind resistant • Fire rated assembly • Strength is permanent • Will not rot or decay • Resistant to termites (the concrete) • Impact resistant (the concrete) • Low maintenance requirements • Building structures to last hundreds of years • More Cost Savings • Lower cost to heat and cool providing energy savings that provides monthly dividends for decades to come • Tax incentives due to energy efficiency • Lower property insurance rates (in some areas) • Reduced HVAC requirements • Higher home resale value • Enhanc
