Why Choose ICF?
ICF is versatile and allows for a wide range of architectural designs. It can be used in various building types, from contemporary homes to commercial complexes. Its flexibility makes it an ideal choice for custom projects and innovative designs. ICF is renowned for its outstanding insulation properties. The forms consist of two layers of insulating material (typically expanded polystyrene or EPS) that sandwich a concrete core. This unique design provides a continuous, high-performance thermal barrier that minimizes heat transfer. As a result, buildings constructed with ICF benefit from reduced heating and cooling costs year-round, making them exceptionally energy-efficient. The inherent insulation properties of ICF extend to soundproofing. Buildings constructed with ICF experience reduced noise infiltration, creating a quieter and more comfortable interior environment. This is particularly advantageous for residential buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities where peace and tranquility are essential. In Nova Scotia, insulating concrete forms are an excellent choice.Â
