The airtight structures are fire retardant that can save homes for up to 4 hours
Constructing eco-friendly homes these days demand reliable, high thermal performance building envelops that provide energy-efficiency, prevent heat loss, eliminate thermal bridging and provide safety and comfort over their operating lifetime. NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms have met these demands on all sorts of projects, erecting buildings that are safe, comfortable, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly.
NUDURA ICFs seems on a mission to provide environmental friendly buildings and the efforts can be seen through their developed transportation and building processes. For years, the company focused to produce less waste as possible during the construction process. The further step they take by recycling the waste 100 percent which is another friendly step towards a healthy environment.
Keven Rector, Technical Services Manager at NUDURA, says, “ICFs provide significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of the building. In fact, NUDURA energy-efficient construction materials provide up to 58 percent energy savings compared to traditional building methods using wood”.
Constructing homes for future
- NUDURA ICFs binds projects with their steel reinforced solid concrete core where the structures can withstand extreme weather conditions. The homes can endure winds of up to 402 kmph and the non-toxic polystyrene foams are fire retardant to ensure home-safety up to 4 hours.
- The inside-home reinforced construction eliminates air gaps, minimizes the potential formation of mold growth and draft paths. These eco-friendly homes are structured airtight which is more efficiently heated, cooled, and ventilated, creating a healthier living environment.
- The Insulated Concrete Forms provide significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of the building. The materials provide up to 58 percent energy savings compared to traditional building methods using wood.
“Our patented foam interlock allows the form to be four-way reversible, almost eliminating waste. It does this by eradicating left and right corners which allow NUDURA ICF Forms to be used in twice as many scenarios as non-reversible forms,” says Rector.
