A High Performance Alternative
Imagine a combination of the sturdiest bed frame with the softest of mattresses. This is what you get in a Northland Construction home built with insulated concrete forms (ICFs). An environment free of allergens, dust, mold and other irritants is made possible by the virtually impenetrable concrete walls. Unwanted noises and distractions stay outside allowing for peace and privacy inside.
These benefits are contained in a building structure that stands up to winds of 200 miles per hour and resists fire for up to four hours. The stay-in-place formwork means multiple layers of protection in one super-insulated, solid concrete wall, giving your building added strength, security and energy savings.

Energy Savings
ICF construction means super-insulated walls that will ensure even temperatures year-round, saving homeowners as much as 50-80% on heating and cooling costs. Plus, homes built with insulated concrete forms may require smaller HVAC units, reducing costs even further.
Built-in Beauty
From the outside of a building constructed with ICFs, things look the same as any other building on the street. It’s on the inside that concrete and foam are working together to create a strong, efficient structure. |
Sustainability
ICFs take advantage of recycled materials for their creation and unused portions are recyclable. By reducing the number of elements taken from trees and slow renewing sources, ICFs are a product with a positive impact on the environment. Plus, the insulated concrete means significantly lower energy usage. |
