What are the benefits of ICF?
Energy-Efficient
Up to 42% less energy to heat your home and 32% less energy for cooling due to the ICF effect, which eliminates air gaps in your walls providing continuous insulation throughout the entire home.
Better Air Quality
ICF and concrete combine to make an airtight envelope around your home, keeping you and your loved ones safe from pollution and harmful vapors outside the home.
Superior Strength
The reinforced steel and concrete core makes your home 10 X stronger than traditional wood frame houses, giving you the safety and durability that you expect for your home and family.
Fire Protection
The fire rating of ICF blocks is a minimum of 3.5 hours resistance compared to 15 minutes for traditional wood frame houses giving you more time to put out any fires in your home.
Sound Reduction
The powerful sound absorption properties of ICF homes help to keep your indoor space free from unwanted noises, such as rowdy neighbors, trucks, storms and even lawnmowers.
Increased Safety
ICF homes withstand hurricane force winds up to 300 mph. The solid concrete and steel core also protects you and your home against flying debris, wind uplift and harsh weather conditions.

Tel: (617)-869-0680
How much does an ICF home cost?
If you are building to code, ICF construction will cost less than traditional wood frame construction. Each project is different, but to build a high performance home with a dry and insulated basement, ICF construction is your solution!
How long does it take to build a ICF house?
Each project varies, however building with ICF will expedite the overall construction time since ICF is an all-in-one system which consists of insulation, framing and sheathing already pre-installed.
Do I need special ICF home plans?
You can always use standard home plans, but we encourage that your architect takes the time to reconfigure them to ICF specifications. This will simplify the inspection process with local building officials and building engineers involved in the building process.
What is the R value of ICF walls?
Insulated Concrete Forms start at R-25 but you can go up to R-40 or higher, if necessary. It all depends on your project goals and needs. Contact us today to find out more!
