Build in extra comfort and savings
An ICF basement is more comfortable. It’s more comfortable than a concrete block basement. It’s more comfortable than regular poured concrete. Why? Because ICF is the number one Insulated Concrete Wall System in North America. It is built with a reinforced concrete core sandwiched between two layers of expanded polystyrene foam insulation.
ICF walls dramatically reduce drafts and “cold spots” compared to conventional basements. The two layers of ICF foam insulation will also eliminate most basement humidity problems. The “thermal mass” of the concrete core stabilizes the temperature in your basement so that you get even comfort, all year round.
That’s the real payoff of an Arxx basement. You get more, ultra-comfortable living space from the very first day your home is built.
Build faster and better with ICF
ICF is the stay-in-place concrete form designed by builders, for builders. It is the complete wall building system. ICF forms are lightweight, pre-assembled, and lock together. We provide the widest product selection in the industry, so you can build walls and foundations in any shape, size, or design you can imagine.
ICF forms are 16¾" high, so six courses stack to a finished ceiling height of 8'1". Add another row of 12" high forms, and you get a 9'1" finished basement. It’s easy. You can protect the foundation with our peel-and-stick moisture barrier, or use our premium damp proofing, ICF Maxx Foundation Wrap.
