As tech­nol­o­gy has advanced, new con­struc­tion meth­ods have emerged. Under­stand­ing the tra­di­tion­al mason­ry vs. wood frame rival­ry sets the stage for why a bet­ter alter­na­tive exists.

Insu­lat­ed con­crete form blocks pro­vide a host of advan­tages over tra­di­tion­al CMUs, includ­ing bet­ter ener­gy effi­cien­cy, eas­i­er con­struc­tion, and improved resilience.

Insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICF) cre­ate a more ener­gy-effi­cient, qui­et, and healthy build­ing than one built with wood-frame con­struc­tion. ICF build­ings are also more resis­tant to dis­as­ter, fire, insect, and mois­ture intru­sion than wood-frame struc­tures.

Safe­ty in con­struc­tion is not just about com­pli­ance; it’s about com­mit­ment. A com­mit­ment to pro­tect lives, pre­serve invest­ments, and not to exceed the bound­aries of what build­ings can with­stand.

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?
