Benefits of an ICF Foundation
Complete Waterproofing
To protect your foundation, we use moisture blocking sealant, waterproof membranes and dimple board in addition to the moisture-blocking properties of ICF.
Superior Strength
Reinforcing Steel Rebar runs through the concrete core vertically and horizontally allowing you to build custom basement foundation walls in any size, shape or form.
Build To Any Height
The benefits of Insulate Concrete Forms extend all the way up your basement walls and beyond. The higher you build, the stronger and more comfortable your home gets.

Continuous Insulation Above and Below Grade
The interlocking ICF blocks create an airtight envelope to prevent air leakage into the home while improving the energy efficiency of your foundation.
No Ups and Downs in Temperatures
The High Thermal Mass of concrete and R-28 insulation keeps indoor temperatures stable, making your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the hot summer months.
More Windows Than Before
The steel-reinforced core of ICF foundations gives you the freedom to build a basement with larger windows that are seamlessly built into into the foundation wall.

Earth-Friendly and Sustainable Materials
ICF blocks are made up of 100% recyclable Expanded Polystyrene which helps to minimize landfill waste.
Long Lasting Durability

Are ICF walls good for Finished Basements?
ICF blocks are ready to finish and cost less than adding insulation to a traditional foundation. There is also no limit to how high you can go. Turn your basement into a workshop, or a rentable apartment with all the comforts and energy savings built in.
How high can I build the ICF foundation?
depending on your architects and engineer there are almost no limits to how high you can go with and ICF foundation. You can easily reach 12 -15 including standard size windows.
