SEARCH RESULTS FOR “walls”

ICF con­struc­tion offers an easy way to achieve hur­ri­cane-resis­tant wall sys­tems that pro­tect against wind, fly­ing debris, and flood­ing.

The whole-wall ther­mal per­for­mance of ICF ensures a com­fort­able liv­ing and work­ing space with ener­gy sav­ings and man­age­able bills.

For 2013, the U.S. Fire Admin­is­tra­tion report­ed 1,240,000 house fires. Hous­es con­struct­ed out of ICFs have key advan­tages in min­i­miz­ing the dam­age and spread of these fires.

Con­struct­ed dur­ing one of the worst win­ters in over 30 years, hav­ing over 8′ of snow fall dur­ing the 12 weeks of Fox Blocks con­struc­tion.

EPS pro­vides no nutri­ent val­ue and is not a food source for ter­mites. If left exposed, ter­mites may tun­nel into the foam in search of fibrous food. When build­ing, in a heavy ter­mite infes­ta­tion area, care is required in the detail­ing and con­struc­tion of the walls that will be in con­tact with ground, to pre­vent access to the foam for ter­mites.

This 104,000 square foot project won an ICF Builder Award.
