ICF Advantages

Advantages of ICF - Quick Summary

30% to 50% Savings on monthly energy bills

(ICF walls = R-52, Stick Frame = R-19)

Reduces Sound Transmission by 2/3’s (STC Rating 50 +)

Nonorganic ICF materials prevent insect damage as well as Mold and Mildew growth.

Because of the concrete ICF shell which is 6 to 10 times stronger than framed homes, the structures can withstand California wildfires, Midwest tornadoes, and Florida hurricanes.

AMVIC ICF

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are revolutionizing modern construction and rapidly changing the way we build structures. Cost effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly, ICF construction is a superior way to build; and no one makes better ICFs than Amvic.

Stronger, Quieter, Healthier and More Energy Efficient Homes.

Our Expanded Polystyrene forms stack together and interlock, simply add rebar, brace, and pour. With the concrete set, forms remain as insulation, which can then be finished to suit your design. No temporary forms to cut or remove, no big mess to clean up, and no excess waste headed to the landfill. The structure is rock solid, and in fact, will continue to grow stronger overtime.
