Element ICF achieves up to 50% in energy savings compared to traditional stick-framing and insulation methods. This is achieved through a combination of the higher R-value (ICF: R-23 versus stick-framing: R-20), airtightness, and thermal lag. Element ICF is incredibly quick and easy to build with, combining 6 construction steps into 1 solution (Concrete, steel reinforcement, insulation, air barrier, vapor barrier, and furring strips are combined into an all-in-one build process with Element ICF). This makes the build process smoother, reduces build time, and man-hours to complete.
Strength and durability are built into every ICF wall. The reinforced concrete core provides exceptional resistance to wind, moisture, and long-term wear, while the insulating foam protects against thermal bridging and condensation. Unlike traditional wood framing, ICF walls won’t warp, rot, or shrink over time—ensuring your structure remains solid and reliable for decades.
Element ICF is also highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re building a frost wall, full basement, or extending ICF construction all the way to the roofline, the system adapts to your project needs. It integrates seamlessly with our engineered floor systems, LVL beams, and roof trusses—allowing for a cohesive and efficient structural design.
