Tampa ICF Builders

Energy Efficient: As the population grows, the use of natural energy resources is also rapidly increasing. To overcome this fear, this is always the top priority for everyone. It only required 30% of energy to heat or cool an apartment, which is much less than the traditional building structure, i.e., CMU and wood. 

Mold Resistance: Due to the inorganic material nature of EPS, these resiliently constructed homes have a lesser chance of getting attacked by mold, pests, insects, and other rodents if we follow all the preventive measures.

The continuous interior and exterior insulation also prevents the mixing of cold and warm air, thus reducing condensation and mold. 

Low Maintenance: Maintaining always costs a lot if it is a must to do from time to time. But if your house is built with concrete forms you will not be worried about the time to time expenses of maintaining it.

Secure: Whenever it comes to building a new structure, we always keep in mind the security parameters. We always measure customer requirements by adding a second base at the top and roof of concrete pour instead of wood.

No worries if you have already built or started your project; we are always happy to help you.

Versatile: The innovative approach to wall construction is very versatile, which surprised me. I thought it would have some height restraints, but you can build multi-story residential buildings with these blocks. They can also be used on slab-on-grade or pier-and-beam homes to build walls from the basement up to the roof. You can also use all sorts of exterior finishes on these blocks.

Heat-resistant: They are also fire-resistant to a certain degree, making them ideal for areas prone to wildfires, such as Tampa. Due to EPS, these structures have a 4-hour fire rating, a significant advantage when compared to wood-framed homes that can collapse in under an hour.

DIY Ability: They are a great DIY wall assembly. Even if you contract out the pouring of the concrete, you can still stack all these blocks yourself to reduce costs. The average cost of a wall is around $10 to $30 per square foot, but you can bring it down to $25 per square foot if you stack them yourself.

Consistent Temperature: Reinforced concrete’s block keeps your home cold in summer and warmer in winter. Airtightness can be gained by using good-quality doors, windows, and a roof.

Insulated concrete homes with a wooden roof have 1 to 1.5 ACH compared to wooden homes, which have 5 to 12 ACH. So, such a modern-construction home has less air leaking out through the walls, allowing you to downsize your air conditioning system and see a reduction in your energy bills, which also makes it cost-effective.

Soundproofing: In a sound transmission test, the walls allow less than a third of the sound to pass through than ordinary wood walls. The inside of the home is so comfortable that the outside noise will not disturb you, whether you are focusing on a movie or reading a book. To make the outside noise virtually zero, use high-quality windows and doors.

Improved Air Quality: Those people who are suffering from asthma and other respiratory disorders are the best option, as the thick walls do not allow contaminants, i.e., fumes, pollen grains, dirt, and other allergens, to enter their homes.

Lower Insurance Premiums: Due to the superior resistance quality of Insulated Concrete Form in different aspects, it is less prone to damage, which insurance companies consider when calculating your premium. As a result, insurance premiums and, thus, resale values and discounts are typically higher.

Strength and Durability: New homes in Tampa and waterfront homes across the coastal region are always in danger due to the subtropical climate. These reinforced-building approach homes are permanent structures that will stand for 100 years or more. They will withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods because EPS and concrete are water-resistant, so they are popular in coastal areas. If you have installed a wooden roof, it might get damaged. You will be good to go by changing the inner drywall of your house.
