Master Distributor
We provide valuable resources for your ICF project, including ICF sales with personal
attention and service, years of proven experience, and a wide variety of ICF accessories.
We can either build your project or provide materials and training to builders.

What are Insulated Concrete Forms?
Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are stacked into the shape
of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete.
Insulated concrete forms combine one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded
Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building materials, steel reinforced
concrete. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength
and noise reduction.

Why ICF?

Energy Efficient
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) combine close celled expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation with
the terrific performance of concrete’s thermal mass to give you 30-70% savings in your heating
and air conditioning costs. Covered EPS does not settle or deteriorate, resulting in significant,
consistent long-term savings and exceptional comfort.
Versatile
An ICF house can look just like a traditional home
if you want. Or, because of the innate flexibility
of the foam material, you can have unique
footprints, arches, angles and curves as part
of your design at a lower construction cost than
with traditional building methods. Using 4’x16”
molded blocks, 45 or 90 degree corners, brick ledge
forms, and taper blocks, ICFs can be used to build
virtually any home plan, using any finish - brick,
stucco, siding, and more.
Environmentally Friendly
ICF significantly reduces the need for wood products, and instead use sand and gravel, the
world’s most prevalent building materials. ICF walls utilize materials more efficiently, greatly
reducing land filling. ICFs contain no HCFC, formaldehyde, asbestos, or fiberglass, and no
harmful CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are used in their manufacture, nor is there any degree
of "off-gassing."
Superior Insulation
Expanded polystyrene is the premium insulation choice for your long-term comfort and
savings. There are no airborne glass fibers to breathe, and no insulation settlement to be
concerned about. With ICF, fluctuations in room temperatures will become a thing of the
past and consequently you will experience overall comfort like never before.
Air-Tight Building Envelope
Airtight building envelopes reduce heating
and cooling costs, and also provide
superior indoor air quality. Energy efficient
air exchangers can be programmed
to introduce filtered fresh air so that dust,
pollens and pollution stay outside.
Tornado Resistant
ICF provides the stability of concrete making
it less likely to be damaged by tornados
or strong winds.
Fire-Resistant
Walls built with ICF have a three-hour plus fire rating due to the raw material bead with
flame-retardant agents.
Sound-Resistant
Concrete filled insulated concrete forms provide exceptional sound attenuation. ICF walls
achieve an STC rating of 50 plus which basically makes outside noise inaudible inside.
Solid Concrete
ICF structures built from footing to rafter
have a full height reinforced insulated
concrete wall. It puts an end to uncomfortable
winter drafts and huge areas of heat loss or
gain from electrical boxes.
Mold-Free Concrete and Foam
Unlike a wood frame building which once
infiltrated by moisture will mold and mildew,
ICF construction virtually eliminates this problem.
