Safety

When it comes to the safety of your home, ICFs offer unparalleled protection. ICF structures are ten times stronger than framed structures and have demonstrated exceptional resilience against natural disasters. For instance, ICF homes are fire retardant, effectively reducing the spread of fires and providing peace of mind to homeowners.
