Your dream home should be beautiful, safe and comfortable.

With Insulated Concrete Forms, your house can be all that plus environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and resistant to natural disasters. 

The ICF Advantage: Safety, Comfort and a Sustainable Home

Nudura® ICFs are composed of two interconnected panels of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, stacked, and steel-reinforced, then filled with concrete to create structurally solid walls with a continuous interior and exterior insulation.

ICFs enable the construction of aesthetically pleasing, highly energy-efficient homes, reducing energy consumption for substantial monthly cost savings. Additionally, Nudura ICFs facilitate quicker construction and require less maintenance, yielding a durable, disaster-resistant home.

How Do ICFs Stack Up Against Wood Framing?

Nudura ICFs excel in resisting fire, wind and moisture damage, securing your home against external threats. Unlike wood, ICFs remain unscathed over time, free from mold, rot and decay, translating into a low-maintenance, resilient home.

  • Lower Energy Bills: ICF homes slash heating and cooling expenses by up to 60%* thanks to continuous insulation that cuts thermal bridging and energy use.

  • Lasting Durability: Nudura ICF walls provide up to 4-hour fire protection, resist winds up to 250 mph, and are impact-resistant against flying debris.

  • Comfort: Nudura ICF homes offer better air quality, reduce mold risk and provide soundproofing that dampens outside noise.

Versatile Applications of ICF: Beyond Full Home Builds

While ICFs are often recognized for their effectiveness in full home construction, their versatility extends far beyond that. ICF can be skillfully applied to various projects such as pools, safe rooms, basements and crawl spaces, offering a range of benefits tailored to each application.

ICF for Pools

Using ICFs for constructing swimming pools enhances their durability and energy efficiency. The insulating properties of ICF walls also help maintain a more consistent water temperature, lessening the need for heating and lowering energy costs. 

Pool Applications

ICF for Basements and Crawl Spaces

ICFs are an ideal choice for basements and crawl spaces due to their exceptional structural integrity and moisture resistance, keeping these spaces dry and reducing the risk of mold and water damage. ICF also provides superior thermal insulation to maintain consistent temperatures and lower energy costs. 

Basement & Crawl Spaces

ICF Safe Rooms

Nudura ICFs excel at constructing safe rooms and storm shelters for unbeatable protection in the face of extreme weather, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. The robust concrete core and two sides of insulation in an ICF wall provide excellent resistance against high winds, impact and moisture infiltration.
