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! This means very little exterior noise, fire resistant, wind resistant and high R factors, because there is no therma 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 battery 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. ICF blocks produce homes with impressive overall R-values and very low energy usages.As an ICF built home the only visible sign that there is any significant difference if the construction is by checking out the window stools. This shows off the width of the walls. Otherwise, there is no material difference inside or out.Truly custom built from inside out. Three step crown molding, 7'' base and three step chair rail, contrasting floors in Formal Dining and Study, Built-in glass shelves either side of the gas fireplace, gas cooktop in kitchen, curved granite top on the peninsula bar, extra drawers and cabinets throughout, windows in the front and doors in the back, and so much more.
