INSULATED CONCRETE HOMES   

By using Insulated Concrete Forms to build your next home you can ensure you are choosing the best building solution available today. Insulated Concrete Forms provide huge benefits over traditional methods. The combination of rising energy requirements and rising fuel costs mean that we need to make the most of building technology to heat and cool our homes. This requires a whole building approach to design, which doesn’t have to be complicated. Insulated concrete forms are energy efficient construction materials that provide maximum comfort and energy solutions for your entire home.  

MAXIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY 

With growing energy costs, building an insulated concrete form house is more energy efficient, can save you significant amounts of money on a yearly basis, and reduce your carbon footprint. Insulated concrete form walls vastly reduce air infiltration, which greatly optimizes energy performance. 

GREATER HOME COMFORT & SOUND CANCELLATION 

Outside cold can easily travel through a typical wood-framed wall, causing thermal bridging, and creating uncomfortable cold spots inside your home. Insulated Concrete Form houses built with ICF offer superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging. 

SAFE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY 

Insulated concrete forms offer you and your family maximum safety with a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours. With an Insulated Concrete Form house, walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and a non-toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam ensuring maximum safety. At Brierton Builders, the safety of a home is our top priority.  

LONG TERM VALUE 

An Insulated Concrete Form home is built to last, and retains its value longer. The main structural element in a ICF home is reinforced concrete which offers substantially better durability and requires less maintenance and repair over its lifetime compared to wood structures that require regular maintenance over its limited life span.
