ICF - INSULATED CONCRETE FORM

WHAT IS ICF?

ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction uses interlocking foam blocks that are filled with reinforced concrete to create extremely strong, energy-efficient walls. This modern building method provides significant advantages compared to traditional wood framing. See below to read about the benefits in detail.


Kairon Homes specializes in designing and building high-performance ICF custom homes that are built to last for generations. 

WHY CHOOSE ICF IN OTTAWA?

Ottawa experiences extreme seasonal temperature changes - from hot summers to freezing winters. ICF homes are specifically designed to perform in these conditions, making them ideal for local homeowners.


Top Reasons Ottawa Homeowners Choose ICF:


  • Lower heating and cooling costs year-round
  • Superior insulation compared to wood-frame homes
  • Increased durability against harsh weather
  • Better indoor air quality
  • Quiet, comfortable living spaces


If you're building a custom home in Ottawa, ICF offers a clear advantage over traditional construction.

BENEFITS OF CHOOSING ICF FOR YOUR CUSTOM HOME

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & LOWER UTLITY COSTS

ICF construction dramatically reduces heat loss by eliminating thermal bridging. Due to the thermal performance of the ICF walls and reinforced concrete, the home is build to retain heat - significantly reducing the amount of heating and cooling needed. ICF homes are proven to have 20-50% reduced utility builds compared to traditional wooden frame builds. 

EXCEPTIONAL INDOOR AIR QUALITY

ICF homes have airtight builds from the ICF blocks that compose the walls and foundation. This means that there are significantly less gaps in the walls compared to traditional wood builds. Less gaps means less air infiltration. Less air infiltration means less dust, allergens, and moisture. Ideal for families focused on long-term health and wellness, and those who react to dust and allergens no matter the season. 

ADVANCED BENEFITS OF CHOOSING ICF FOR YOUR CUSTOM HOME

SAVE ON HOME INSURANCE

SOUND PROOFING & NOISE REDUCTION

SAVE ON HOME INSURANCE

Due do the wide range of benefits, home owners who have ICF builds save on average 5-25% on their home insurance. This is mainly because of the increased strength, durability, and fire resistance of ICF builds. ICF homes are severe weather resistant, meaning they are significantly less likely to be impacted by severe weather.

FIREPROOFING

SOUND PROOFING & NOISE REDUCTION

SAVE ON HOME INSURANCE

Because unliked wooden framed homes, ICF materials are highly fire-resistant because they utilize a central thick core of reinforced concrete, which is non-combustible. In addition, the ICF foam blocks are treated with EPS foam & fire retardants. This means the ICF interior and foundation are build to prevent the sustain and spread of flames.

PEST AND RODENT RESISTANT

SOUND PROOFING & NOISE REDUCTION

SOUND PROOFING & NOISE REDUCTION

ICF homes are highly resistant to pests and rodents for a couple important reasons. Firstly, ICF materials are in-organic and do not offer and nutritional value to pests and rodents - meaning they have no interest in invading the home and chewing on the interior walls. Secondly, because the ICF blocks are reinforced with concrete, they are impenetrable to pests and rodents from the exterior.

Enjoy the luxury of a quiet home, from inside and outdoor noise. The thickness of the ICF walls dramatically reduce the amount of noise that travels from the outdoors, as well as within the home. Because of the airtight construction, it is physically harder for sound waves to penetrate the concrete. The foam layers act as buffers that absorb and break up sound vibrations from inside and outside the home.
