ICF homes offer lower energy bills, a healthier living environment and unlimited design possibilities.

Today, environmentally conscious home buyers are discovering a responsible alternative for new home construction, and it's happening in your neighbourhood. Imagine a home built using a construction technology known for its warmth, comfort, strength as well as its sound and weather resistance. Our homes are built with irresistable radiant heated floors, draft free walls, larger windows and wider open spaces.

      

Insulating concrete forms (ICF) are hollow blocks or pannels made of high insulated polystyrene. They are stacked like building blocks to form the walls of the structure. Reinforcing steel is added and concrete is poured into their hollow cavity.

  • More Energy Efficient
    Superior insulation and solid construction requires less energy to heat and cool.
  • In-Floor Radiant Heat
    Transfers warmth from the floor directly to your body - in addition to heating the air.
  • Better Air Quality
    Breathe easier - virtually dust and pollen free with effective air/vapour barriers.
  • Sound Resistance
    Peace and quiet - traffic, barking dogs, even thunder storms are reduced to a whisper.
  • Solid Construction
    Resistant to storms, high winds and other severe weather conditions.
  • Design Flexibility
    Imagine - larger windows, wider floor spans, deep window sills and more.
"The extra comfort in this home compared with others I've lived in is really noticeable."
-- Marlene Hum, ICF Homeowner
