Top 5 Reasons for
Building
with Insulated Concrete Forms
Click on each heading below for more details or click here to continue tour:
#1-- Living Comfort
ICF homes provide unparalleled peace and quiet, uniform and stable
temperatures throughout, and a draft-free environment that greatly reduces dust and
pollen.
#2 -- Energy Savings & Increased Home Value
ICFs save valuable construction time, lower heating and cooling costs
(by 50-80%), and often reduce insurance premiums. Also, a
recent EPA study concluded that energy efficiency increases home value by about $20
for every $1 decrease in annual utility costs.
#3 -- Structural Strength & Safety
ICF homes are capable
of withstanding hurricanes and tornadoes, and can be built to meet commercial two-hour
fire protection.
#4 --
Adaptability
Insulating concrete forms have successfully been used in virtually every type of construction, from
one-story residences to multiple-story office buildings. ICFs are lightweight,
versatile, builder friendly, and easy to install.
 #5 -- Earth-Friendly
Insulating concrete forms are environmentally safe and energy efficient. They do not contain
chlorofluoro-carbons (CFCs), HCFC, formaldehyde, asbestos, or fiberglass. Also,
ICFs directly reduce the lumber used in construction.
Working in partnership with concrete, one of earth's most abundant
materials, BuildBlock forms are environmentally superior
in every way.
