Arxx Acquires PolySteel
Arxx Corp. and American PolySteel, both pioneers in the ICF industry, have announced they are joining forces to gain better market position.

Fireproof ICFs
Well-known for resistance to hurricanes and tornadoes, ICFs are also extremely good at protecting occupants and their belongings from wildfire, arson, and accidental flames.

Sloped Concrete Roofs
Building a pitched concrete roof is one of the most difficult challenges for the contractor.  They maximize their efficiency and disaster resistance, but don’t look anything like a bunker.

Total Concrete Shells
By Pieter Vanderwerf
Disaster-proof energy efficient concrete roofs are a key part of completing a robust building envelope. This reknown ICF expert explains advantages and options.

Disaster-Resistant Finishes
These finishes are a perfect match for ICFs.  They’re reasonably priced and  easy to apply, but they’ve withstood fire, tornado debris, and even gunfire with minimal damage.
