![]() ![]() In sound transmission tests, ICF walls allow less than one-third as much sound to pass through than regular frame walls. Insulating concrete form homes, offices, and industrial facilities provide unparalleled peace and quiet and true protection from outside noise. The measurement of air contents of actual ICF houses shows an almost complete absence of any emissions. Indoor air pollution is a great health concern today. ICF walls reduce air infiltration by 75%: The effects of hay fever, asthma, and other airborne allergies can be greatly alleviated as a direct result of the reduced leakage of outside air, which brings dust, pollen, and other pollutants. You’ll have no more hot spots or cold drafts. The high thermal mass and minimal air infiltration of insulating concrete form walls create a more uniform and stable temperature throughout your home. When surveyed, over 80% of ICF home owners mentioned the great comfort of their home, compared with just 22% of frame home owners.* That’s what you get with an insulating concrete form home. When planning a new structure, consider the greater well-being that comes from living with more even temperature, sharply reduced drafts, and noticeably greater quiet. Insulating Concrete Form Structures are Comfortable and Quiet Benefits Insulating Concrete Form Construction Interior (drywall) and exterior (stucco, brick, rock, siding) finishes are firmly attached to the wall using the attachment points in the high-density plastic webs. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction. ICFs combine one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building materials, steel reinforced concrete. Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced with steel re-bar, and then filled with concrete.
