When building a new home, you want to ensure your family and property are as safe as possible from potential disasters and hazards. Insulated concrete form (ICF) construction provides unparalleled strength and protection compared to a traditional stick-frame home.


Storm Safety

ICF walls are engineered to withstand winds up to 250 mph, well above hurricane force. The reinforced concrete core and EPS foam insulation provide a disaster-resistant envelope that secures the structure against high winds, flying debris, hail, and more. ICF homes suffer far less storm damage versus vulnerable wood framing.


Fire Safety

ICF blocks are non-combustible and offer up to 4-hour fire ratings. The concrete and foam insulation contain fires instead of spreading flames. This gives occupants more time to evacuate while limiting fire-related property loss. ICF construction greatly improves survivability in a home fire event.


Pest Resistance

Termites, carpenter ants, and other pests cannot penetrate the solid concrete core of ICF walls. The closed foam insulation also denies entry for nuisance insects. This prevents structural damage, eliminates pesticide use, and creates a healthier indoor environment.


Sound Insulation

ICF walls block outdoor noise far better than standard building materials. Your family gains peace-of-mind and improved sleep with dramatically reduced noise transmittance from traffic, wind, and neighborhood commotion.


When you choose ICF construction for your custom home, you gain formidable defenses against damage, disasters, pests, and noise. ICF walls provide true security and protection where it matters most - your home. Contact Alandsons Supply Co today to build your family's safe haven with ICF.
