Super quiet environment

Leave the world outside

With ICF’s providing a sound transmission coefficient(STC) of 50-72+, your home or business leaves the outside outside. Many schools are built near interstate traffic and need to be quiet to keep the students attention. Just think, the movie theater you go to needs a minimum of an STC of 72,so you don’t hear multiple movies, just yours.

Clean, safe, & healthy living environment

Breathe easy

Being able to control your interior air to a constant level of comfort as well as healthy and safe conditions is a constant with ICF buildings. Many health care providers chose ICF for the ability to have sterile indoor conditions.
