INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICFsAn ICF home provides exceptional performance, comfort and value.

DANMARK HOMES is a licensed professional installer of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).  This way of building homes is the wave of the future and DANMARK HOMES is one of the few home builders in the area that is able to provide this increasingly popular alternative to traditional wood framing.

How do ICF homes match up against traditional wood framed homes?

ICF homes are...

4X more fire resistant
3X more sound proof
9X stronger
2X more energy efficient
9X more resistant to thermal bridging (cold spots)

"Walls are built with ICFs in an almost Legolike fashion.  Once the exterior wall is erected, concrete is poured down its mostly hollow center.  The concrete and steel reinforcement creates walls that builders estimate can last up to 200 years.  The EPS forms stay in place and provides fire-resistant, energy-efficient insulation that proponents say will pay for itself many times over in energy savings over the life of a structure."
