For gen­er­a­tions, the con­struc­tion of exte­ri­or walls has fol­lowed tra­di­tion­al prac­tices that have pri­mar­i­ly involved wood or steel fram­ing. These meth­ods have been the back­bone of res­i­den­tial and light com­mer­cial con­struc­tion, by pro­vid­ing shel­ter, sta­bil­i­ty, and a cer­tain lev­el of insu­la­tion.

ICF con­struc­tion expe­dites the pro­duc­tion of a movie the­ater and reduces labor costs over both wood-frame and CMU con­struc­tion.

Both ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal ICFs con­struc­tion cre­ate mois­ture- and dis­as­ter-resis­tant walls with excel­lent R‑values. But which is the bet­ter ICF wall?

Trag­i­cal­ly, between 2000 and 2017 there were 894 wind and 1417 tor­na­do-relat­ed deaths. In 2017, 36 per­cent of the wind and 63 per­cent of the tor­na­do-relat­ed fatal­i­ties hap­pened either in a mobile or per­ma­nent home. A wind-resis­tant design is crit­i­cal to a home­’s integri­ty and a family’s safe­ty.
