Hotel Chains Building With ICFs
A surprising number of hotels have already been built with ICFs, many of which are owned by well-known national brands. They’re often the best performing buildings in the chain, and provide a good comparison on the energy savings ICFs can bring.
Floor Joists to Speed Construction
Specialized flooring systems that work well with ICF walls and have proven to shave weeks off completion time. Real world case studies show how this can compress schedules and save thousands of dollars.
