Insulated Concrete Forms

NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF's) are not new to the world.... just to Tennessee! This technology is probably 35 or so years old in Europe and 15 years old in North America. As energy and labor costs become more expensive, ICF's become the building material of choice for the more discriminating builders and owners.

Why are home owners choosing NUDURA ICF's? Several reasons. ICF's are:

• Energy Efficient - An ICF built home has up to 2 times greater energy efficiency than a comparable wood framed house.
• Fire Resistant - Steel reinforced concrete and fire-retardent insulating foam make ICF built walls 4 times more resistant to fire.
• Durable and Strong - ICF built walls have up to 9 times more axial load resistance than a wood-framed wall, offering protection from hurricanes, tornadoes, and high winds.
• Quiet - Our double-foam insulated concrete core acts as a sound barrier, making ICF walls 3 times quieter than their wood-framed counterparts.
