Reason #1
Insulating Concrete Form Structures are
Comfortable & Quiet
 
When planning a new house, consider the greater well-being that comes from living with more even temperature, sharply reduced drafts, and noticeably greater quiet. That's what you get with an insulating concrete form home.

When surveyed, over 80% of ICF home owners mentioned the great comfort of their home, compared with just 22% of frame home owners.*

Insulating concrete form homes provide greater comfort for occupants.   Greater Comfort

The high thermal mass and minimal air infiltration of insulating concrete form walls create a more uniform and stable temperature throughout your home. You'll have no more hot spots or cold drafts.

     
Healthier Air

ICF walls reduce air infiltration by 75%: The effects of hay fever, asthma, and other airborne allergies can be greatly alleviated as a direct result of the reduced leakage of outside air, which brings dust, pollen, and other pollutants.

Indoor air pollution is a great health concern today. ICF walls are non-toxic. The measurement of air contents of actual ICF houses shows an almost complete absence of any emissions.

  Insulated concrete form homes give you control over indoor air pollution and air infiltration. 
     
Insulated concrete form homes provide unparalled peace and quiet.   Quieter

Insulating concrete form homes provide unparalleled peace and quiet and true protection from outside noise. In sound transmission tests, ICF walls allow less than one-third as much sound to pass through than regular frame walls.
