Insulating
Concrete Form Structures are
Safe & Strong
For many people, the greatest benefit of an ICF
home is the peace of mind that comes with being surrounded by the
strength of concrete and steel. Insulating Concrete Forms create a
monolithic concrete wall that is
10 times stronger than wood framed structures.

Fire Resistant
In fire wall tests, ICFs stood exposure to intense
flame without structural failure longer than did common frame
walls. The extremely low flame spread and smoke development make
ICF walls safer from the hazard of fire.
Earthquake
Resistant
Built according to good practices,
concrete homes can be among the safest and most
durable types of structures in an earthquake. Homes
built with reinforced concrete walls have a record
of surviving earthquakes intact and structurally
sound.
Tornado and Hurricane Resistant
In severe weather, the walls of your ICF home
provide protection for your family that is far superior to wood
frame construction. A Texas Tech
University study proves that walls built with Insulating
Concrete Forms (ICFs) withstand the damage and projectiles
launched by tornado and hurricane strength winds. A
Safe Room is the perfect
complement to an ICF home.
