Right from the Start As you begin formulating the plans for your new building, there seems to be no end to the number of choices you have to make. It’s natural to pour hours of time and effort into choosing the wall coverings, exterior finish and other aesthetics for your new building. But first take some time to decide what will be inside those walls. Safe and Sound For many people, the greatest benefit of an ICF building is the peace of mind that comes with being surrounded by the strength of concrete and steel. Insulating Concrete Forms create a monolithic concrete wall that is 10 times stronger than wood framed structures. Design Freedom ICFs are extremely adaptable to your design, making them an architect’s dream! An ICF building can look just like a traditional building if you want. Or, because of the innate flexibility of the foam material, you can have unique footprints, arches, angles and curves as part of your design at a lower construction cost than with traditional building methods. ICF buildings can be designed in any style, and will accept any traditional exterior finish including vinyl or wood siding, stucco, rock, and brick. Earth Friendly Green. It seems to be the buzz word in the construction industry, and with good reason. The construction practices of the past are simply unsatisfactory for the world of today - and tomorrow. It's more important than ever that we conserve natural resources and reduce waste and pollution. There are countless reasons why we should do everything we can to protect the environment. ICFs not only offer the owners and tenants unbeatable benefits, but they’re also environmentally responsible. Building with ICFs instead of traditional stick frame building saves at least 10 trees. The enormous reduction in energy use — 32% to 44% — saves our natural resources. The energy savings also results in less carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere on an ongoing basis. ICF blocks — especially All Seasons Construction— result in less construction waste. Energy Efficiency & Savings Energy efficient buildings are becoming the new standard for commercial buyers. At a time when energy costs are soaring, many commercial owners are deciding it makes more sense to spend money on a safer, longer lasting, and more energy efficient building than to spend that same money on utility bills. Energy efficient buildings are composed of various elements which work together to reduce the overall amount of energy consumption. One of the most basic elements of an energy efficient building is a well-insulated and sealed building envelope. All Seasons Construction uses Insulating Concrete which is ideal for creating this energy efficient envelope. Buildings with ICF exterior walls and the proper complement of windows, doors, HVAC systems, and methods, generally accomplishes at least a 50% savings in heating and cooling. In some cases, depending on the area and climate, commercial owners experience as much as a 70% decrease in energy use and costs. Affordable A building with insulating concrete forms is more affordable than you may think! The old saying goes: “It takes money to make money.” It also takes money to save money. Insulating concrete forms cost a little more — about 3-5% on average — than traditional stick wall construction, but that additional investment is quickly recouped by the tremendous savings in energy, interest, and insurance costs. Then consider the reduced maintenance costs and higher re-sell value and you can see why insulating concrete building structures are actually more affordable than wood construction.
