Benefits of Insulated Concrete Forms

  • Energy Efficient - TF System forms walls that provide an energy efficient (R-25 up to R-40) thermal barrier with a thermal-mass benefit that results in reduced heating costs and reduced cooling costs.
  • Cost Effective - ICF construction is competitive with other building methods including; ICF block systems, concrete block (CMU), tilt up concrete, SIP construction, stick framed construction, and conventional concrete forms.
  • Environmentally Friendly - TF System forms incorporate recycled materials, reduce the strain on our forests, and through efficiency reduce our energy requirements.
  • Indoor Air Quality - ICF buildings maintain a superior air quality and level of comfort.
  • Soundproof - The density of concrete combine with the insulating properties of EPS result in extremely quite and comfortable structures.


  • Benefits of Concrete Construction:

  • Strong - Concrete has been the most widely used building material for centuries, and many ancient concrete buildings are still standing today.
  • Long Lasting - Quality structures save money, resources, are and are an investment in our future.
  • Fire Proof - Concrete buildings are less venerable to total loss from fire.
  • Tornado Proof - Reinforced concrete walls can be designed to withstand 200 mph. winds.
  • Hurricane Proof - Properly designed and built concrete structures have been proven time and again to withstand hurricane forces.


  • Benefits of TF System Insulated Concrete Forms:

  • No taping, tying, or gluing - TF System's vertical orientation eliminates the need for these timely and expensive procedures.
  • No Floating or settling - TF System's vertical orientation eliminates horizontal joints thus eliminating this common problem with most ICF's.
  • Increased Safety - TF System forms can be erected from the ground/floor level greatly reducing the time spent on ladders or scaffolding.
  • Interior Wall Access - TF System allows contractors and inspectors access to the wall cavity at any time.
  • Concrete Consolidation - TF System has been engineered to allow for internal mechanical vibration.
  • Design Flexibility - TF System can accommodate virtually any design imaginable.
