Build A House That Is Stronger, Safer, And More Efficient.
We Work with the best Partners
why we are a partner with nudura
Improved home comfort comes standard
when you start with ICFs!
Energy Savings
Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms can help improve energy efficiency of your home by up to 58%* compared to traditional construction. The monolithic concrete is layered between two continuous panels of 2 5/8" (67mm) thick EPS foam, which isolates the concrete and reduces the ability for outside temperatures to flow through the wall, keeping internal temperatures steady .
Safety
The strong concrete core of Nudura is what gives it its strength. Using non-toxic, fire-retardant Expanded Polystyrene foam (EPS) and steel-reinforced concrete, Nudura walls have a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours, which is four times longer than that of a normal wood-frame house. Nudura buildings can withstand winds of up to 250 mph (402 kph), providing your family with security and safety in practically any condition without the need to rebuild.
Sound Dampening
The Nudura ICF Series of products provides a minimum STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of STC 50**, acting as an effective sound barrier by reducing sound vibrations from unpleasant outside noises including traffic, trains, and neighbors.
Indoor Air Quality
The ultimate result is an airtight building that allows mechanical systems to ventilate, heat, and cool it more effectively, improving the quality of the indoor environment for living or working. Because Nudura ICFs don't emit CFCs or HCFCs, indoor air quality is enhanced.
