For nearly half a century, leave-in-place Insulating Concrete Forms have proven themselves as a premier, high-performance wall system, offering superior economic, environmental and durability benefits.

 

Today, as more and more commercial/residential building owners, architects, contractors, lenders and investors discover the cutting edge value of ICFs, a 30+% annual growth makes it the most rapidly expanding building system in the U.S. ICFs use rigid foam insulation to form and encase concrete walls, like a concrete sandwich with insulating foam in place of the bread. On the job site, interlocking ICF blocks or panels are assembled, with nearly the ease of children’s LEGO's, and held in place at a desired thickness with engineered ties. Reinforcing is often added, then concrete is poured in the cavity. Along with systems for easy mounting of finishes and channeling of utilities, the insulation remains in place with the concrete to provide ICFs’ advanced economic, thermal, safety, environmental and comfort benefits.

Environmental Benefits of ICF'S

​

Freement believes buildings today have to be more than just aesthetically pleasing! They have to provide benefits in some way. Why build, knowing that mold can/will eventually be the cause of uncertainty? Why build, knowing if you light a match and throw it that not only will personal belongings be destroyed, but the entire structure will become ashes in less than a day, when it took a whole year to construct? These are questions that affect humanity of today, every second. I believe that we can change and Freement will pioneer a greater future for generations to come. ICF buildings provide greater comfort, safety, and energy efficiency, and are healthier and more eco-friendly.

An ICF building envelope provides the following benefits:

• Thermal resistance

• Innovative design

• Sound resistance

• Safety and security (BULLETPROOF and Blast resistant!)

• Health and indoor air quality

• Fire resistance

• Construction efficiency

• Innovative design

• Sustainability
