Building for the 21st Century...

Contruction Resources is proud to be the regional distributor and installer -- reaching into the 21st century.

Why building with

makes so much sense...

Imagine a home that almost completely blocks noise from the outside; maintains a stable temperature through R-50 insulated walls; holds up under severe weather conditions or protects against fire; provides a fully functional basement that feels like an upper story; and affords infinite design flexibility.

What are insulated concrete forming systems (ICF's)?

ICF's are the basic building block for highly energy efficient and structurally superior residential and commercial wall systems. The ICF consists of lightweight, expanded polystyrene forms. Designed to be an integral part of the wall, the forms stay in position after the concrete is placed. The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene coupled with the structural integrity of reinforced concrete is a powerful combination. It makes ICF walls stronger, safer, quieter and more energy efficient than conventional stick built structures.

Design Flexibility Strength, and Energy Efficiency

Strength and Stability -- adding the structural integrity of reinforced concete, ICF provides a waterproof barrier against severe weather and insect damage.
Fire Resistance -- ICF walls are very fire resistant providing up to a 4 hour fire resistance rating, increasing safety and reducing insurance premiums.
Energy Efficiency -- ICF walls can provide thermal performance values equivalent to R50 wood frame construction. This can translate to energy savings of up to 70% and cutting air infiltration by 38%.
Noise Reduction -- ICF wall systems can be designed to meet your project's specific acoustical needs; the polystyrene and concrete assembly means less outside noise gets in, which translates to a 50 STC rating as compared to 33 for a wood framed home.
Design Flexibility -- polystyrene forms are easily cut to conform to irregular building sites.
An Extended Building Season -- forms can be poured in subfreezing temperatures.

Outstanding energy efficiency, strength, safety, sound reduction, and cost efficiency make ICF one of the premiere Building Technologies for the 21st century.
