Wow, check out this great looking energy efficient 4 Bedroom 3 full bath home with spacious double garage. This showcase home was built with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) which means all exterior walls are 10'' thick with poured concrete. Talk about safe, sound, and secure! ICF construction means very little exterior noise, fire resistant, wind resistant and high R factors, because there is no thermal bridging in the walls. In building a typical Wood Frame home the insulation is placed between the wall studs. The studs, the headers and the metal hangers create breaks in the insulation which lowers the overall R factor of the solid wall. In wood frame construction these gaps and breaks have been estimated to reduce the R value of insulation by 25% to 30%. ICF construction utilizes continuous insulation blocks of foam in panels of typically 16'' x 48'' stacked on top of each other with ties and rebar and then poured with concrete. Now the building has two layers of insulation one on the outside and one on the inside. These two insulating layers together with the poured concrete act as a thermal blanket controlling the seasonal and nightly temperature changes all across the wall system. ICF walls have high R factors plus do not have problems with breaks in the insulation. The ICF system produces homes with impressive overall R-values and very low energy usages. With the ICF construction, the only visible difference in looks is by checking out the window stools. This shows off the depth of the exterior walls. Otherwise, the exterior and interior walls may be finished in a many different ways. 2800 Shell Landing Blvd is truly custom built from inside out.
