Nudura ICF for Single-Family Homes

Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are fast and easy to install for builders, with impressive sustainability and design versatility for architects. With superior thermal insulation, ICFs help houses maintain consistent indoor temperatures, significantly cutting heating and cooling costs for homeowners.

The soundproofing characteristics of ICFs create a quieter living environment while the robust durability withstands natural disasters and fires, ensuring family safety and security. Additionally, the moisture-resistant properties of Nudura ICFs prevent mold growth for a healthier home with lower maintenance.

Construction Speed

                            Forms are easily assembled and contain 6 building steps in 1. Can proceed in various weather conditions.

                        

Involves more steps like cutting, framing, and additional insulation, which can slow down the building process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Prone to fire, termites and water damage. Not resilient against hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

At risk of deterioration from pests and moisture.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Leads to thermal bridging and gaps in insulation.

Precast panels enable quick on-site assembly, but weather can cause delays. Insulating panels adds extra steps and slows the process.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Robust concrete panels make it fire, flood, and wind resistant. Additional design is needed for earthquake resilience.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

Thick concrete panels provide significant strength.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Generally, requires additional insulation measures.

Prefabrication speeds up construction but may need specialized labor. Complex insulation for modern energy codes can extend construction time.

Disaster Resiliency

Highly resistant to floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Resistant to earthquakes and strong winds and loses strength when exposed to high temperatures.

Structural Strength

Reinforced concrete core provides exceptional strength and durability.

High strength-to-weight ratio.

Thermal Efficiency

High R-values providing superb insulation and energy savings.

Conducts heat, requiring significant insulation to improve.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“During the building process of our home, there was actually a storm that came through...an EF1 tornado that touched down in basically our backyard. The nice thing was, we felt really secure and safe as we were moving forward in the building process that this house is going to be standing 100 years from now.”
