Quality in our Product and Service
We have over 30 years experience in construction and we only use the finest materials on the market today!
ICCF Advantages Over Traditional “Stick Framing” Construction
- Strength – ICCF walls are at least 700% stronger than stick framed walls and will resist 250 mph winds
- Insulation – A 10″ ICCF wall has at least 4 times greater thermal resistance than 2×6 batt insulated walls
- Thermal Mass – ICCF wall thickness and density further enhance thermal resistance over stick framing and traditional construction
- Fire Resistance – ICCF walls do not burn “open flame”: 4000 DEGREES.
- Termite/Insect Resistance – ICCF walls have no wood inside. There is no food source for termites or boring insects or rodents. Rodents won’t nest in it. No dry rot will occur.
- Design Versatility – ICCF wall material can be easily cut and shaped into infinite and unique design features for load and non-load bearing walls.
