What is ICF?

Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs) give you all the benefits that have made concrete the material of choice for home building worldwide: Solid, lasting construction that resists the ravages of fire, wind, and Father Time. But ICFs do plain concrete one better - or rather, two better - by giving you two built-in layers of foam insulation.

Extremely Energy Efficient

Reward-built structures reduce energy costs by 50% to 80% and require dramatically less maintenance.

Strength & Safety

The walls withstood a blast from 50 lbs. of TNT from a distance of 10 feet with no cracking. Reward ICFs also deliver up to four-hour fire ratings, stand up to 200 m.p.h. winds and ensure excellent performance in seismic zones.

Comfortable & Allergen Resistant

Create a superior airtight envelope to lock out mold, moisture and outside allergens - as well as outside noises.

Environmentally Safe

Earn points toward LEED certification for green building in such categories as - Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation and Design Process.

Fire Resistant

Tests show that ICF walls are safer than wood frame in a fire. During tests, wood frame walls and ICf walls were subjected to 2000°F temperatures for 4 hours. The results, NONE of the ICF walls failed and the wood frame collapsed in less than an hour.

High Resale Value

According to the Nation's largest real estate appraisal organization, your home resale value increases up to $20 for every $1 per year saved due to energy efficiency.

Flexible Design

An ICF home looks just like any other home.

Incredibly Quiet

ICF homes have approximately 50% noise reduction versus traditional wood constructed homes.
