ICF


Although the up-front construction cost of a LOGIX home may be slightly higher than a traditional wood-framed home, the actual “overall living” cost is often lower when energy savings are considered. Unlike traditional walls, the LOGIX ICF wall system prevents costly energy loss and dramatically lowers your energy bills.
ICF Wall Systems	Traditional Wall Systems
Energy Efficiency
No thermal bridging Continuous insulation Constant R value for life	Thermal bridging Gaps in insulation Erosion of R value
Environmental Impact
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 1/3 or 3 tons annually Service life up to 100 years	Minimal reduction in green - house gas emissions Service life 30 to 50 years maximum
Air Quality
EPS and concrete are non-toxic and do not off - gas No nutrient source exists in structure for mold growth	May contain adhesives and VOCs that off - gas Wood and moisture provide an ideal environment for mold
Durability
Wind rated up to 200 mph Fire rated for up to 4 hours	Poor wind rating Fire rating in minutes
