How It's Made ICF

The foundation of every Charis Home.Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow foam blocks which are stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete. Insulated concrete forms combine one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building materials, steel reinforced concrete. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction.

Benefits of an ICF Home:
30-70% savings in energy consumption and costs (good for your pocketbook and the environment)
Tornado, hurricane and earthquake resistant (keeping your family and belongings safe and sound)
75% reduction in outside air infiltration (less dust and allergens)
Five times quieter than a wood-frame home
Building with ICFs saves at least 10 trees per home
ICFs can be used to build virtually any home plan, using any finish – brick, stucco, siding, and more.
