Comfort Beyond Compare and Unbelievable Energy Savings

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are concrete forms made of rigid foam insulation forms (a system of support assemblies, including mold, hardware, and necessary bracing to hold concrete) into which concrete is poured and house foundations are created. Once the concrete has gained its full strength, the insulated concrete forms are left in place to insulate the wall. Insulated Concrete Forms are becoming more and more popular in regions in which the local building code requires the concrete foundation to be insulated. One of the many benefits is that the homeowner or builder has the ability to finish basement immediately, without adding studs, strapping or nailers because they are built right into ICFs.

Help Save the Planet! You Can Make a Difference!

For years old-fashioned concrete walls were constructed by using a standard concrete form to hold the concrete in place while it cured. The forms were then removed after the concrete was hard. This process involved a lot of manual labor and the end result was walls that were strong but had almost no insulating value. These types of walls left your basement moist and gave it that moldy smell. But all that has changed! With Insulated Concrete Forms the rigid foam insulation performs four valuable functions. It acts as the rigid concrete form, it insulates the concrete foundation wall, it forms a vapor barrier for the wall and also acts as an excellent surface for attaching final finishes such as drywall for the interior and stucco for the exterior. Insulated Concrete Forms are easy to install and stay in place preventing the need to remove or "strip" them when the concrete is cured. You can use Insulated Concrete Forms from the footings of a building all the way up to the roof although in the Northeastern states like Massachusetts they are generally used for just the basement. You end up with a concrete foundation wall that is far is superior in every way compared to foundation walls created by using standard forms. Much stronger walls, magnificent sound barrier and thermal mass advantages, easier to heat and cool and no wood strapping to rot and grow mold are just a handful of the powerful advantages of ICF construction.

Did You Say "R-50" insulating Value? WOW!

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF's) are changing the foundation of home building and construction. The concept is actually very simple. Insulated Concrete Forms combine a conventional steel reinforced concrete wall with modern rigid foam insulation and does so in a way that is cost effective because Insulated Concrete Forms are labor and material efficient. Rigid foam insulation on the exterior, a reinforced concrete wall and then another layer of rigid foam insulation on the interior is the finished product. The foam becomes a permanent part of the concrete foundation wall thus providing a phenomenal R-50 insulating value. Combine this simple energy saving, environmentally friendly system with the SIPs panel framing system and you will have the most energy efficient home that money can buy. Such energy efficient insulating values will even dramatically improve the performance of any renewable energy system such as solar or wind generated power if you should choose to include these in your construction plans.
