The system seems to make a whole lot of sense. I just wonder how construction companies and workers think of it.
NUDURA ICFs can endure winds of up to 402 kph (250 mph) and the non-toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam provides a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours. Designed to not only protect against the elements, these forms provide environmental benefits through waste reduction and energy conservation.
“ICFs provide significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of the building. When you combine two panels of 2 5/8” EPS foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete, a NUDURA ICF home can provide up to 60 percent savings in energy costs,” says Mr. Rector.
