The Cottages
(See Communities: Cottages for more information)

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.
