Every struc­ture, from tow­er­ing sky­scrap­ers to qui­et fam­i­ly homes, relies on rebar to pro­vide the strength and sta­bil­i­ty that con­crete alone can­not deliv­er.

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.

The foun­da­tion is fun­da­men­tal to the longevi­ty, strength, and struc­tur­al sound­ness of a house. Home­own­ers and pro­fes­sion­als often ask, ​“Which foun­da­tion is the most effec­tive for a house?” Find out here!
