Benefits

BuildBlock’s ICFs are designed to make building easy! Blocks are lightweight, easy-to-use, and are loaded with features that save time from start to finish. ICF projects can be built with smaller crews than traditional contruction by utilizing a simple stack, brace, and pour method of building. Additionally, ICFs are incredibly easy to cut and shape which makes integrating other components such as plumbing, electricity, and HVAC an easy task.

ICF walls are formed, framed, furred, sheathed, insulated, and sound-proofed, all at once. Each block is manufactured with built-in insulation, attachment points, connectors, and does not require any clips or ties. Since they are performed, they arrive at your job site ready to stack on day one. After the concrete is set, the wall is virtually sound-proof and ready for interior and exterior finishes and trades.

ICFs provide a variety of money-saving opportunities on construction costs. BuildBlock ICFs are completely reversible and interchangeable greatly reducing waste. Additionally, labor costs can also be greatly reduced by requiring smaller crews and utilizing the faster, more efficient building process. Increase your profitability by building with ICFs!.

Better energy-efficiency, bigger savings, and greater comfort. The high thermal mass and minimal air infiltration of insulating concrete form walls create a more uniform and stable temperature throughout your home. ICF walls offer better energy efficiency to reduce your monthly energy bill and create a solid barrier to eliminate hot or cold spots giving greater comfort.

Insulating Concrete Forms create a steel-reinforced, monolithic concrete wall that is 10 times stronger than wood-framed structures. BuildBlock ICF walls have been proven to withstand impact damage from high-winds as well as offer four hours of fire resistance, ensuring your home is safe and disaster-resistant. The greatest benefit of an ICF home is the peace of mind that comes with being surrounded by the strength of concrete and steel.

BuildBlock ICF walls create a quiet and comfortable living environment. The monolithic design of ICF walls reduces air infiltration to reduce dust and allergens, eliminate drafts and uneven temperatures all while protecting from outside noises. ICF homeowners enjoy peace and quiet while promoting a healthy living environment.

BuildBlock ICFs are a cost-effective solution for building more efficient, stronger, longer-lasting structures. The greater insulation, tighter construction, and temperature-moderating mass of the walls conserve heating and cooling energy much better than conventional wood-frame walls, reducing monthly fuel bills. It also allows the use of smaller heating and cooling equipment to create more saving opportunities during construction.
