Discover the benefits of building your next home with ICF’s from Cemstone and Reward Wall Systems:
- Energy Savings: Heating and cooling savings of up to 50-80 percent over traditionally framed structures.
- Strength: Reinforced concrete walls that have been tested to withstand winds exceeding 200 mph from tornados and hurricanes.
- Quiet: Above grade ICF construction gives you an unmatched soundproofing to virtually eliminate exterior noises from getting into your home. Great for buildings near airports or freeways or simply eliminating wind and storm noises. This is the number one complement of a concrete structure.
- Safety: Four hour fire rating that can mean a safer home for occupants resulting in a possible reduction in your homeowner's insurance.
- Clean Air: Your exterior walls become air-tight which results in a clean indoor air environment and eliminates the possibility of mold growth within the exterior walls.
- Pest Resistant: ICF's and concrete don't attract or provide a food source for pests and termites.
- Moisture Control: With 2 1/2" of insulation on both sides of the concrete wall you eliminate the dew point factor from entering the wall resulting in a dry, livable basement. You’re also able to more easily control the indoor air humidity because of the tightness of the ICF above grade exterior walls.
