All-in-one wall assemblies combine a lot of the component stages together in a cleaner, simpler process. Structure, insulation, and air barrier work tends to feature right there in the initial build, meaning construction moves quicker and requires fewer steps. The end result is a reduced project delivery time without having to coordinate multiple processes.

The possibilities for creativity when it comes to Insulated Concrete Form Construction are only limited to your imagination and skill. Insulated Concrete Forms are highly customizable building components, and have become a staple on construction sites around the world for their various insulating and energy efficiency benefits.    

ICF Designs brings together some of the most electrifying building designs from ICF specialists in the country. Find homes, commercial buildings and special projects using this innovative product, right here.

ICF structures are, by and large, far more energy efficient than a traditionally built home or building. How much more efficient are they? Homes made with ICF exterior walls actually require 32% less cooling and 44% less heating than those the same size and layout as similar timber-framed houses. 

Expect a home that costs less to keep at a decent temperature with ICF construction, and get ready for a whole new energy efficiency experience.

ICF materials are far more resistant to the impact of disasters than traditional wooden structures. With the addition of steel-reinforced concrete, it has been shown to withstand winds of over 200 MPH, and debris at speeds of more than 100 MPH.  

What this translates into is a stronger house with fewer weak points, which can be invaluable in an emergency situation. After all, it’s not like you can pick up your home and move when a hurricane hits. You need to be prepared, and there’s no better time to prepare than during the construction process.
