ICF FOUNDATION STRENGTH
ICF foundations use more rebar than traditional forming, making them far stronger. Rebar adds tension-resisting forces to the concrete, reinforcing the overall strength of the structure.
ICF FOUNDATION DURABILITY
When it comes to durability, ICF has you covered. Because the forms themselves are made of a permanent insulation, you are not at risk of your insulation falling out, being forgotten, or only being partially put in place. ICF foundations completely surround your concrete with insulation.
The extra insulation prevents cold from moving through the concrete as quickly as a traditional poured concrete foundation. This prevents frost from forming on the inside of the concrete wall and saves you from water damage when seasons change and this frost starts to melt.
ADVANCED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
ICF foundations can actually save you money on your energy bills! the general consensus is that ICF homes require 32% less energy to cool and 44% less energy to heat than traditional homes.
Because ICF foundations are so meticulously constructed, there is not a lot of air that escapes. Traditional foundations are not very consistent with their insulation and often have gaps where heat is lost, making it harder to regulate the temperature.
An ICF foundation is your best bet if you don’t want to spend money constantly re-adjusting the temperature.
INCREASED COMFORT
If you plan on having a finished basement or basement suite, an ICF foundation will make a world of difference!
ICF foundations offer a warmer, drier, more comfortable living experience for basement tenants.
Because they are moisture and mold resistant, air quality is increased in an ICF basement. This type of foundation also helps to absorb and release thermal energy throughout the day, which helps keep room temperature stable.
ICF foundations are also great at reducing noise transmission to keep your basement quieter.
