The magic of ICF (it’s truly the material of the future!)
Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) is our favourite, most efficient and durable way to build a home. It makes your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter PLUS it saves money on utility bills. It’s a wonder that so many people (homeowners and industry professionals alike) still haven’t become experts in this magic material (unlike us, as we’ve made it our mission to be ICF experts).
