ICF Home
We recently completed a home with ICF (Insulating Concrete Forms) walls in Round
Rock. ICF walls are becoming more popular as energy costs increase, and as our surroundings
become noisier. Some features of ICF walls include:
- Reduced air infiltration. Used in conjunction with spray foam insulation for the roof, the
air infiltration is greatly reduced, providing for a more energy efficient structure, with less dust
and pollen entering the home.
- The tonnage on the heating and cooling system can be reduced, which reduces energy costs.
- Superior sound barrier. Between the polystyrene and concrete, the sound level from the exterior
is greatly reduced, which is great for urban lots near high traffic areas.
- The polystyrene insulation combined with the thermal mass benefits of concrete provides for
higher effective R values.
- ICF walls are superior to wood construction for fire resistance.
- Superior to wood for termite protection.
- Sustainable product. The ICF walls should perform much longer without repairs than normal
wood construction.
We have built other ICF homes, including the 5 star home shown on our web site. Please
contact us for more information.
