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:

A home built with ICFs is much stronger than a conventional wood- constructed home and is resistant to high winds and 
  storms. The majority of injuries in severe weather storms come from flying debris impacting and entering a structure. The reinforced concrete walls of an ICF building are virtually impregnable and have actually been subjected to government supervised blast-resistance testing at the U.S. Marine base at Quantico, Virginia with excellent results.
