Flori­da, often hailed as the Sun­shine State, is no stranger to the annu­al threat of hur­ri­canes. As a res­i­dent or poten­tial home­own­er, one can’t help but feel the loom­ing pres­ence of these pow­er­ful storms. In light of this, the demand for hur­ri­cane-proof hous­es in Flori­da has grown expo­nen­tial­ly. Now, more than ever, home­own­ers are seek­ing solu­tions that not only ensure the safe­ty of their loved ones, but also pro­vide a sus­tain­able and ener­gy-effi­cient lifestyle.

The need to incor­po­rate sound­proof­ing fea­tures in the exte­ri­or walls of today’s homes and build­ings has increased in recent decades. Urban­iza­tion, pop­u­la­tion growth, and an increase in air, rail, and high­way traf­fic all have con­tributed to a wide­spread esca­la­tion of noise pol­lu­tion.

Exte­ri­or wind dam­age is respon­si­ble for 25% of all home­own­er insur­ance claims. That doesn’t include the inte­ri­or loss­es that occur when dam­aged win­dows and roofs let rain wreak hav­oc inside. While we can’t pre­vent wind­storms, we can lessen their dam­age by plan­ning home designs with wind-resis­tance as a top pri­or­i­ty.

In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).
