Con­crete mason­ry units (CMU) and insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) walls have sev­er­al fea­tures in com­mon: ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, and good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). How­ev­er, ICF is quick­er and eas­i­er to install com­pared to CMU, which saves time and mon­ey.

ICF’s ben­e­fits are mas­sive, rang­ing from cost sav­ings to dura­bil­i­ty, high qual­i­ty and easy instal­la­tion. If you want to learn how to save mon­ey on your next project, keep read­ing.

Research by Texas Tech Wind Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Research Cen­ter has demon­strat­ed that ICF walls bet­ter pro­tect occu­pants of hous­es from wind­blown debris, than frame walls. Being hit by wind­blown debris is the most com­mon cause of injury dur­ing tor­na­does.

You can avoid stud-fram­ing mois­ture prob­lems by choos­ing a mois­ture-resis­tant insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) foun­da­tion for your new home.

Build­ing a new home offers you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to include the lat­est ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, and sus­tain­able prod­ucts and meth­ods, sav­ing you mon­ey on month­ly and long-term expens­es.
