Energy Efficient
Save 30-70% on energy bills depending on your geographic location. The average savings for energy consumed by heating is 44%, and cooling savings average 32% for structures built with ICF walls. Because of their thermal mass, ICF walls are comparable to a wood frame structure with an R-50 rating. Indoor temperatures remain consistent with only 1-2 degrees of difference from floor to ceiling. Overall, ICF walls generally perform three times better than traditional forms of construction.

Structurally Superior
Few materials compare to the strength of concrete poured into insulated forms. ICF walls resist burning flames with temperatures up to 2000 degrees for 3-4 hours and withstand 200 m.p.h. severe weather winds. You can trust ICF walls for protection and longevity. Buildings constructed with ICFs have a life expectancy of more than 200 years, which is 2-3 times longer than structures built with 2x6 wood frames.

ICF walls are solid. Only one-sixth of common outdoor noise (such as barking dogs, lawn mowers, traffic, etc.) passes through the walls, leaving you with tranquil inside space. Because of the solid material in the walls there is no worry about rotting, decaying or insect infestation. Even years after construction little maintenance is required to keep it like new because concrete does not rust or corrode, saving you money and time that you can invest elsewhere.

Mold Resistant
Achieve a healthy indoor environment by eliminating air and moisture infiltration into your home or commercial space. ICF walls are completely mold resistant and create interior spaces that are essentially dust and pollen free.

Environmentally Friendly
Go Green! ICFs are made with recycled material and any waste from construction is recyclable. ICF is considered non-toxic by U.S. government agencies and expels no emissions. This man-made product preserves non-renewable resources by reducing the need for heating and cooling elements, and it saves trees (as an alternative method for traditional "stick built" construction). Utilize ICFs to earn LEED tax deductions.
