Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@strongwallbuilders.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Insulated Concrete Forms are a pour-in-place forming system using EPS-(Styro-foam panels) to hold the concrete & rebar in place until cure. These EPS panels are the insulation for the structure and stay in place. Drywall and exterior stone/ stucco/ wood is then attached directly to the panels using plastic strips embedded within the foam. The typical 6" ICF wall can deliver a R-value equivalent of R-44 with the thermal mass of the concrete and can withstand a force of up to 265 mph winds.
YES! Drastically...Several of our coastal customers have experienced cost savings of up to nearly 75% less insurance premiums annually due to their home being framed with a concrete wall system that withstands Hurricane force winds.
This is a very common question that is most often incorrect...The short answer is no, ICF is not more expensive than traditional 2x6 wood framing.
There are many contributing factors that can drive up the cost of ICF vs traditional framing. Such as architectural/ Engineering and overall design of the structure, General Contractor familiarity, and especially subcontractor integration. In fact, due to recent economic times, the increased cost and availability of lumber, has leveled out the playing field and the more we teach the subs how to work with these systems, the more accurate / efficiently they can complete their scope.
Within storm stricken regions, and based upon the engineering requirements in that region, using a monolithic concrete wall system like ICF can help reduce construction costs and speed up construction schedules drastically. This is not taking in to consideration the reduced demand for your heating/ cooling systems needed to efficiently control the temperatures within your home.
There is a long list of attributes that can reduce the overall construction costs/ time to complete your home using ICF. We would be happy to help outline these attributes for you...
