The Montee Residence in Huntsville, Alabama, exemplifies the innovative use of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) in custom residential construction. Built with Nudura® ICFs, this 3,800 sq. ft. home showcases the benefits of energy efficiency, sustainability and structural integrity.
This project features ICF exterior walls across the home, including its conditioned crawl and attic spaces, providing robust insulation and consistent interior temperatures. ICF construction enhances the home's energy efficiency, reduces HVAC loads and lowers utility costs. These benefits contribute to the homeowners' long-term financial savings and promote environmental sustainability.
The complexity of the Montee Residence includes exceptionally tall foundation walls on one side of the house, requiring specialized structural engineering. Despite these challenges, the construction was completed in 52 weeks, with the ICF installation taking just 28 days.
The Montee Residence is a testament to the advantages of building with ICFs, while highlighting the opportunities for ICFs in custom residential construction.
