Q&A:
Q. What was the major benefit of using Amvic ICF over traditional construction methods?
A. “In colder/warmer climates, pouring a concrete wall that is already insulated
is not only cost effective, but the better choice for the environment. The Pros
of pouring ICF over traditional are extremely lopsided. This eliminated the need
to frame and insulate walls separately, offering a more efficient temperature
control solution. The roof was designed as a waterproof party pad, built to
handle a 100 PSF snow load along with the added weight of sand, rock, and
pavers, creating a durable and enjoyable living space for the owner.
Additionally, the ICF structure’s airtightness was particularly valuable for
long-term storage purposes, as it allowed better control over the internal
environment, ideal for uses like food storage.”
Contractor/Owner Quote
“Convenience, excellent customer service, and
most importantly, Alleguard’s unmatched
compressive strength of 865 PSF set it apart
from competitors. Strength during pouring
was a major concern for me, so choosing the
strongest block was essential.”
