1) What are ICFs?
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) are light-weight insulating casts that are stacked much like legos. Concrete is poured into the forms resulting in insulating concrete walls that are stronger and more durable than wood frame homes, resistant to inclement weather and free from chemical treatments that can give off toxic gasses.
2) Why Choose an ICF Home?
Homes built with ICF are typically the same cost as traditional fame-built homes. The architectural designs are just as flexible and there are many additional health and cost savings with ICF homes. These homes require 44 percent less energy to heat and 32 percent less energy to cool than frame houses. ICFs reduce air infiltration by 75 percent, bringing in fewer outside pollutants which can reduce the symptoms of airborne allergies.
