Strong, Quiet, Energy Efficient, Affordable...

Most builders, architects, designers—and many savvy homebuyers—have heard of Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) technology.

And they often conclude this method is associated mainly with high-end, high-priced buildings.  

However, the Phoenix Engineered Wall System™ reduces the cost to a level that makes ICF construction affordable to all of the housing and light commercial/industrial market.

ICF construction...is a method of creating exterior walls with expanded polystyrene forms or blocks, stacked together and filled onsite with concrete.

Building professionals and consumers know that ICF homes are:

Wood frame homes - especially newer ones that have been constructed to be more airtight than usual - can provide 
 

classic conditions for the development of mold by trapping moisture in the wall cavity. In an ICF home, there is no moisture in the cavity. The moisture that was in the concrete when it was poured during construction, is totally consumed in the concrete curing process within the ICF itself and, with no way for moisture to enter the ICF wall, there is little to no possibility of mold growth within the wall cavity.
