While it’s great news that we’re not cur­rent­ly using more ener­gy to run our homes, the study also ​“rais­es impor­tant con­cerns about mak­ing home ener­gy use more effi­cient.” If American’s time at home con­tin­ues to rise, home effi­cien­cy will need to as well.

Many con­trac­tors ask us the same ques­tion: Is ICF more expen­sive than CMU? Here’s why ICF walls are less expen­sive than CMU and offer bet­ter ben­e­fits.

Paves way for accel­er­at­ed growth in sus­tain­able con­struc­tion prod­ucts.

When con­struct­ing a build­ing, ensur­ing its sta­bil­i­ty and resilience is crit­i­cal. Two essen­tial com­po­nents that play cru­cial roles in build­ing sta­bil­i­ty are shear walls and load bear­ing walls.

Under­stand­ing new build­ing codes is cru­cial for con­struc­tion pro­fes­sion­als and home­own­ers alike, espe­cial­ly with the increased fre­quen­cy and inten­si­ty of hur­ri­canes and tor­na­does.

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

We cov­er the dif­fer­ences between CMU blocks and poured con­crete foun­da­tions so that you don’t have to learn from tri­al and error.
