Facts about ICF

“Yes, there are cheaper ways to build. But not better. On a real-world budget, ICF is more accessible than most people think — and no one who’s built with it regrets it.”
~Mike

Stronger, Smarter, and Built to Last

At Enercore, we choose Nudura ICF because it gives our clients more — more strength, more comfort, more value. It’s not just another way to build. It’s a better one.

Here’s why we stand behind it:

🧱 Built-In Strength

Nudura ICF walls combine two panels of expanded polystyrene (EPS) with a reinforced concrete core — forming a solid, monolithic wall system. That means no shifting, no settling, and no compromise.

  • Structural walls and insulation in one step

  • Resists cracking and movement over time

  • Replaces multiple layers with a single system

🌡️ Energy Efficiency You Can Feel

With continuous insulation and no thermal bridging, ICF helps you save on heating and cooling — every season, every year.

  • R-value of up to R-22 to R-48

  • Concrete thermal mass keeps temperatures stable

  • Up to 58% energy savings compared to traditional framing

🔥 Ready for Anything

Nudura ICF is designed to handle Canada’s toughest conditions.

  • Withstands winds up to 250 mph

  • Fire-resistant and code-compliant

  • Reduces outdoor noise and boosts indoor comfort

🛠 Faster, Cleaner Construction

ICF walls go up fast, cut down on trades, and leave the job site cleaner.

  • One-step wall system

  • Reversible forms reduce material handling

  • Less waste, less mess, more speed

🌎 Better for the Planet

ICF construction lowers a building’s carbon footprint from day one.

  • Contributes to LEED and sustainability goals

  • Reduces energy demand and emissions over time

  • No rot, mold, or warping = longer-lasting builds

Bottom line? We work with ICF because it gives our clients more value for their investment — and a structure that performs for decades.
