Insulating Concrete
Form Structures are
Comfortable & Quiet |
| |
|
When planning a new house, consider the
greater well-being that comes from living with more even
temperature, sharply reduced drafts, and noticeably
greater quiet. That's what you get with an insulating
concrete form home.
When surveyed, over 80% of ICF home
owners mentioned the great comfort of their home,
compared with just 22% of frame home owners.* |

Greater Comfort
The high thermal mass
and minimal air infiltration of insulating concrete form walls create a more
uniform and stable
temperature throughout your home. You'll have no more hot spots or
cold drafts. |

|
| Healthier Air
ICF walls reduce air infiltration by 75%: The effects of
hay fever,
asthma, and other airborne allergies can be greatly alleviated as a direct result of
the reduced leakage of outside air, which brings dust, pollen, and other pollutants.
Indoor air pollution is a great health concern today.
ICF walls are non-toxic. The measurement of air contents of actual
ICF houses shows an almost complete absence of any emissions. |

Quieter
Insulating concrete form homes provide unparalleled peace and quiet and true
protection from outside noise. In sound transmission tests,
ICF walls allow less than one-third as much sound to pass
through than regular frame walls.
