Concrete has been a cornerstone of durable construction for centuries. Unlike typical wood-framed homes, which have an average structural lifespan of 30 years, ICF structures are designed to last over 200 years. With superior structural integrity and durability, our ICF buildings require significantly less maintenance and repair, preserving their long-term value.

NUDURA’s innovative block design is made from inert and recyclable EPS foam, with folding webbing manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled high-density polypropylene and steel.

Unlike wood, ICFs do not rot, mold or support mildew growth, nor do they expose occupants to harmful indoor air toxins. ICF materials do not emit CFCs, HCFVs, or VOCs. In addition, the airtight building envelope created by ICFs eliminates air gaps, thereby reducing drafts and resulting in healthier & more efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation.

NUDURA’s unique 4-way reversible system generates less waste during construction and minimizes landfill contributions. Any necessary waste is 100% recyclable. The folding webbing design allows our forms to be delivered flat, reducing the costs & carbon footprint of the shipping process. Additionally, ICF construction uses less wood, an increasingly precious commodity.

ICFs can provide up to 70% energy savings compared to traditional building materials like wood. The stable thermal mass of ICF wall systems allows mechanical equipment to run at optimal levels, maximizing energy performance and cost savings year-round. Combining NUDURA Forms with other energy-efficient construction methods significantly reduces carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, both during construction and throughout the building's lifespan.

LEED® is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes using energy-efficient materials. LEED®-certified buildings use less energy, water, and natural resources, create less waste, and are healthier and more comfortable for occupants. Building to LEED® standards offers benefits such as lower energy and water bills, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and minimized exposure to mold, mildew, and other indoor toxins. Our materials and processes can help you achieve LEED® certification, with costs comparable to conventional structures.
