NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) provides design professionals, architects, home owners and contractors a more efficient way to build concrete homes and commercial ICF structures. Building with NUDURA Integrated Building Technology allows concrete homes and commercial buildings to be built stronger, more energy efficient, more comfortable and environmentally friendly. NUDURA also provides substantial green building benefits and is proud to contribute to the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Program.

The Technology

NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms or (ICF’s) are a proven method of providing you a better alternative to traditional building methods. NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms consist of two stay in place panels of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) connected with our innovative hinged folding web. The forms are stacked, reinforced and then filled with concrete, creating a solid reinforced monolithic concrete wall. Building with NUDURA offers a variety of advantages of a NUDURA home. " advantages over traditional building methods. NUDURA offers form thicknesses consisting of 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and 12 inches allowing you to build your home as strong as you like.

NUDURA Integrated Building Technology is vastly superior to traditional stick framing methods. Building technology has seen rapid advances in recent times, with builders and home owners looking for newer, more efficient ways to build homes that are stronger green homes, more comfortable and energy-efficient. NUDURA concrete homes offer you a better built home.

With NUDURA's ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Technology you can push the limits of design without pushing the limits of your budget. NUDURA lets you build concrete homes that are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

The NUDURA ICF Building Envelope

NUDURA walls provide a highly insulated thermal barrier. A thermal bridge is created when materials that are poor insulators, allow heat to flow through the path created. NUDURA ICF’s, when filled with concrete have the necessary insulating properties needed to outperform traditional stick frame methods which is what makes NUDURA walls so energy efficient. NUDURA also eliminates gaps in walls where mould forms, unlike traditional building methods where moisture gets trapped in the building phase. Building green starts with NUDURA.

Ceiling Technology

At NUDURA we understand the importance of a fully integrated building envelope. Combine our Ceiling Technology with our wall system and you get increased energy savings for your home: 

Floor Technology

The floor of a building is often the most ignored surface when it comes to insulation. The floor of your home when insulated with NUDURA® Floor Technology completes the building envelope and increases your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. NUDURA® Floor Technology provides:

• A cost effective layer of protection against transference from the ground.
• An effective base for radiant floor heating.
  

Building with NUDURA ICF's (Insulated Concrete Forms) allows you the freedom to build your home to any shape or size and gives you the versatility to design your home the way you want without any limitations. Finding quality building materials that will fulfill these design requirements, within the budget, is often difficult.

By using NUDURA ICF’s (Insulated Concrete Forms) to build your next home you can ensure you are choosing the best building solution. NUDURA ICF’s provide substantial benefits over traditional building methods such as wood, steel or concrete block. NUDURA takes concrete homes to the next level.

NUDURA Provides the Following Benefits:

• Maximum Energy Efficiency - NUDURA Homes can provide up to *2X Greater energy efficiency. NUDURA is a highly insulated concrete wall–with no air spaces or studs–which vastly reduces air infiltration. When you combine NUDURA’s 2 5/8” EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam with the structural strength of reinforced concrete, our Ceiling and Floor Technology, you can be sure you are building a home that has superior energy efficiency over traditional building methods.
• Greater Sound Resistance - NUDURA can provide up to *3X Greater Sound Resistance. NUDURA’s double foam insulated concrete core acts as an effective sound barrier, filtering out unwanted noise, dampening sound vibrations and ensuring a serene and comfortable ambience within your home.
  To achieve sound resistance of up to 3x a NUDURA® 6” form or higher must be used.
• Greater Home Comfort - Concrete homes built with NUDURA® Insulated Concrete Forms can provide up to *9X greater Comfort. Outside cold can easily travel through a typical wood-framed wall causing thermal bridging, creating uncomfortable cold spots inside your home. NUDURA concrete homes built with our ICF technology offer superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging, resulting in even temperatures throughout your home with reduced drafts and cold spots.
  
• Fire Protection - NUDURA offers up to *4X greater fire protection
  Building with NUDURA offers your family greater fire protection with up to a 4 hour fire protection rating (4 times that of a wood framed home). NUDURA® Insulated Concrete Form walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and a non toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam. *NUDURA fire protection rating excludes the NUDURA 4” form
• SUPERIOR STORM RESISTANCE – Up to *9X More Durable
  Compared to traditional building methods like wood or steel framed walls, NUDURA ICF’s provides greater durability and strength. NUDURA® Walls can better withstand Mother Nature’s worst – especially in high wind areas that are prone to hurricanes and tornadoes. NUDURA walls can withstand winds of up to 250 mph.
• Healthier Indoor Air Quality - long lasting value When you build with NUDURA® Insulated Concrete Forms you can be sure that you will have a structure that is safe and comfortable, yet built at a competitive price with minimal long-term maintenance and service costs.

Better Homes for our Environment

With NUDURA's durable Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) green building technology, it is possible to build long lasting concrete homes with high energy efficiency. It is no longer reasonable to construct homes that only last 20-30 years and have excessive heat and energy loss factors. When you build with NUDURA ICF's you will be saving valuable environmental resources, and will consume less energy. NUDURA's unique technological design also allows for minimal waste during the constructions process, reducing the amount of waste sent to our landfills.

A Healthier Living Environment

NUDURA combines the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam with reinforced concrete, creating a home that is extremely moisture resistant. The NUDURA Wall System eliminates gaps where mould forms, unlike traditional building methods where moisture gets trapped in the building phase. NUDURA's tight construction allows operational equipment to heat, cool and ventilate your home more efficiently, creating a healthier living environment. The operating efficiency provided by NUDURA makes the air in your home cleaner to breathe.
