Fire Resistant In fire wall
tests, ICFs stood exposure to intense flame without structural failure longer than did common frame walls. The extremely
low flame spread and smoke development make ICF walls safer from the hazard of fire.
Earthquake Resistant Built according to good practices, concrete homes can be among the safest
and most durable types of structures in an earthquake. Homes built with reinforced concrete walls have a record of surviving
earthquakes intact and structurally sound.
Tornado and
Hurricane Resistant In severe weather, the walls of your ICF home provide protection for your family that
is far superior to wood frame construction. A Texas Tech University study proves that walls built with Insulating Concrete Forms
(ICFs) withstand the damage and projectiles launched by tornado and hurricane strength winds. A Safe Room is the perfect
complement to an ICF home.
