Eco-Friendly and Affordable ICF Homes

Insulated concrete forms (ICF for short) are becoming more and more common as climate concerns rise - and for good reason! ICF homes are safer, more energy efficient, and more convenient to build than traditional wood frame homes.

Insulated concrete form is a system of rigid insulation blocks made of EPS that are separated by plastic webbing. These blocks are used as a concrete form - during ICF construction, reinforced concrete is poured into the blocks to create a concrete wall (instead of a traditional wood plank or plywood frame). Once the concrete is poured, finishes (like drywall and siding) are attached to fastener strips embedded in the ICF walls. In the end, the ICF blocks fit together like Lego Bricks, which is one of the reasons ICF homes have such great energy efficiency.

Each strong, durable ICF wall of an ICF home provides better insulation, more energy efficiency, and greater protection for you and your family than a traditional wood frame home. Since ICF blocks are blocks of concrete separated by two continuous panels of EPS foam, the flow of heat is significantly reduced and the blocks do not allow for thermal bridging (unlike with foam insulation). This means, we provide a thermal mass that is ideal for keeping homes environmentally friendly and reducing the cost to homeowners to keep their home warm while ensuring that hot and cold don't escape through breaks in the wall or insulation - because there are none! Our continuous insulation lowers costs for homeowners and is good for the environment. If you're interested in sustainable design and green building, ICF is the right choice for you.
