Please Note That Stock At Each Location May Vary
Nudura® Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for modern construction. Their reinforced concrete structure provides superior load-bearing capacity, ensuring strength and stability for your building. Additionally, Nudura® ICFs feature high R-values that enhance energy efficiency, contributing to lower heating and cooling costs. The lightweight design and straightforward assembly process make on-site installation quick and easy, significantly reducing construction time.
Choosing Nudura® ICFs is a smart investment in your home's energy efficiency and resilience. These forms can improve energy performance by up to 58% compared to traditional construction methods, leading to substantial savings on energy bills. The solid concrete core, insulated by two layers of 2 5/8” (67mm) thick EPS foam, minimizes temperature fluctuations and ensures a consistent internal climate throughout the year.
In terms of strength and safety, Nudura® ICFs are built with steel-reinforced concrete and non-toxic fire-retardant EPS foam, providing up to four hours of fire protection. This feature significantly enhances safety compared to wood-frame homes. Furthermore, Nudura® is designed to withstand winds of up to 250 mph (402 kph), offering exceptional security against severe weather conditions.

Nudura® ICFs also serve as effective sound barriers, achieving a minimum STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 50, which dampens external noise and creates a peaceful living environment. In terms of building efficiency, ICFs are quicker and easier to install than traditional wood framing, reducing labor costs and associated expenses on job sites. Nudura® products meet or exceed energy codes, ensuring compliance and comfort for occupants.
The design of Nudura® ICFs allows for year-round construction, even in freezing temperatures, thereby maximizing project timelines and eliminating delays. Additionally, Nudura® ICFs are an eco-friendly choice, providing energy efficiency and sustainability, making them a responsible option for environmentally conscious builders. Their exceptional durability means they can endure extreme weather conditions, including winds equivalent to an F4 tornado, while also offering substantial fire protection.
