what is insulated concrete forms (ICF)?
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are a modern building material designed for those seeking energy-efficient homes that offer superior protection against natural disasters. ICF walls are made from reinforced concrete poured between two layers of high-quality insulation, creating a structure that is exceptionally strong, durable, and resistant to extreme weather conditions like high winds, floods, and fires. This construction method not only provides a safer living environment but also drastically reduces utility costs by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, which lowers heating and cooling expenses. Additionally, ICF homes are highly effective in preventing water damage and mold growth, thanks to their solid, waterproof construction.
What Sets us apart | ICF Legacy System
Our Legacy System features ICF walls with monolithic footers, ensuring a seamless and robust foundation. It also incorporates waterproof concrete additives for enhanced durability and moisture resistance. Additionally, the system includes an engineered truss design with a superior tie-down method, providing exceptional strength and stability for the entire structure.
ICF AS THE FOUNDATION
Our construction approach centers around Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) as the primary component, featuring a robust 11 3/4" wall that provides exceptional wind resistance up to 250 MPH. With two layers of continuous insulation, our ICF walls not only offer superior protection against storms but also significantly reduce monthly utility costs, creating energy-efficient and quiet living spaces.
PREVENTING RISING DAMP
Rising damp is a common issue in concrete footings and foundations, but we address this concern with the innovative FastFoot system, which allows for a monolithic pour of both footers and walls. By adding waterproof additives to our concrete mix, we eliminate the risk of rising damp and all cold breaks within our walls, ensuring a durable and dry foundation for your home.
ENHANCED ROOF SYSTEMS
The roof system is a critical component of any build, and we have enhanced it beyond standard ICF practices. Our engineered trusses, designed in collaboration with a local company, can withstand winds up to 200 MPH, and when paired with Simpson Ties, the roof achieves wind resistance up to 250 MPH, matching the strength of our walls. Even when using other roof systems, we incorporate Simpson Ties to enhance durability and resistance, ensuring every roof is as robust as the rest of the structure.

IMPROVED AIR QUALITY
ProductsDue to the airtightness of an ICF home, not only are you able to keep your temperatures consistent, you can also regulate your air quality. Add an ERV (HRV) System to bring in fresh air and control the humidity. You can then add other filters that eliminate allergens, bacteria, etc. to give you the clean air quality you want in your home.
