Explore insulated concrete form construction for comfortable, durable custom homes.
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Insulated concrete form construction.
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) are interlocking forms that create reinforced concrete walls with integrated insulation.
This construction approach can offer advantages over conventional wood-frame methods, including thermal efficiency and durable structural performance. McPherson Customs has experience incorporating ICF techniques into custom home projects.
WHY CONSIDER ICF
Benefits worth exploring.
Structural strength
Reinforced concrete offers a robust wall system with different performance characteristics than wood framing.
Fire resistance
Concrete-based wall assemblies may provide improved fire resistance when specified and installed correctly.
Comfort & air sealing
An effectively detailed wall assembly can help reduce uncontrolled air infiltration and improve comfort.
EXPERIENCE MEETS INNOVATION
Is ICF right for your project?
Every construction method has tradeoffs. Cost, site conditions, design, and construction goals all influence the right approach.
We can explain the considerations and walk through the process for a custom ICF home in the Grand Junction area. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision for your project.
