The last 30 homes of
this 90-home subdivision are being constructed with
the PolySteel insulated concrete form (ICF) process.
Some of the many advantages our construction team has
discovered are:
- PolySteel is lightweight and easy to use
- Fewer manhours are required.
- PolySteel Forms eliminate the need for and cost of
buying, stripping, cleaning, transporting and storing
reusable forms.
- PolySteel provides the fastest method of constructing
a fully insulated concrete wall, thus shortening total
construction time.
- Exterior walls built with PolySteel are structural
entities themselves, allowing designers to easily place
cantilevered windows, load-bearing floor systems and
outer-wall openings with total flexibility.
- PolySteel Forms greatly exceed standard building requirements.
Benefits to our homeowners:
-
The superior insulation provided by PolySteel walls
creates a clean, quiet environment with comfortable,
uniform temperatures throughout your home.
-
PolySteel homeowners typically save 30-80% on energy costs, depending on where you live and
15-25% on insurance premiums.
-
Lower maintenance costs
and higher resale values also put money back into your
pocket.
-
The intrinsic strength of concrete walls coupled with
the galvanized steel ties and furring strips found only
on our patented form makes PolySteel the best ICF choice
for your home.
-
PolySteel walls envelope your family in safety, providing
exceptional protection from natural disasters and fire.
Recently, American PolySteel became the first insulating
concrete wall system to pass the rigors of a 4-hour
fire test.
-
The solid concrete structures
created with PolySteel will stand for many decades to
come. And now, the best just got better with the addition
of the patented termite-resistant technology of Perform
Guard.
-
PolySteel Forms are friendly to the environment, containing
no CFCs, HCFCs, formaldehyde, asbestos, or fiberglass
and reducing the amount of lumber needed for structures.
