What is ICF?
ICF = Insulated Concrete Forms
The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene combined with the structural strength
and thermal mass of concrete makes NUDURA walls stronger, safer, more comfortable and
more energy efficient than typical residential walls.
In various tests, NUDURA walls have met and in many cases exceeded statutory building codes.
Why consider ICF as your building material?
- Environmentally friendly
- Nine times more wind resistant than a standard stick-built home
- Fourteen times stronger than a stick-built home
- Twice as energy efficient - approximately R58 insulation value
- Tornado, hurricane and earthquake resistant
- Fire resistant - 4 times that of standard
- Sound proof - 3 times that of standard
- Holds against winds of up to 600 mph
- No different in appearance than a standard stick-built home, and a much more solid feel.
- Used in seismic-D earthquake zones
