ICF: Versatile and Proven
“Whether it’s a cottage, custom home, or pool house — ICF gives you strength, comfort, and lasting value.”

ICF: More Than Just Walls
ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) has been used in construction for decades — but most people still think of it as a foundation-only system. The truth is, ICF is one of the most versatile building materials on the market today.
At Enercore, we install Nudura ICF systems that work across a wide range of project types — from simple frost walls to full custom homes and everything in between.
Where ICF Really Shines
ICF isn’t limited to just one type of build. Here’s how it’s being used by forward-thinking homeowners, builders, and developers:
✔ Frost Walls
Perfect for slabs-on-grade, garages, additions, and cabins. Insulated from the start and built to meet new energy code requirements.
✔ Full Basements
Dry, durable, and energy-efficient. ICF basements are warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and ready to support any structure above.
✔ Whole-Home Wall Systems
Top-to-bottom performance. Use ICF for every exterior wall — above and below grade — for full envelope efficiency and long-term savings.
✔ Detached Garages & Workshops
Get the same strength, insulation, and sound control — perfect for heated garages or hobby spaces.
✔ Safe Rooms & Storm Shelters
Built to withstand extreme weather and impact. ICF walls can be engineered to meet FEMA and ICC-500 standards for disaster resilience.
✔ Swimming Pools
Yes, really. ICF forms can be used for pool walls — giving you strong, thermally efficient shells that retain heat and resist cracking.
✔ Multifamily & Light Commercial
Durable, code-compliant, and cost-effective. Ideal for townhouses, apartments, clinics, and retail spaces with long-term performance in mind.
✔ Retaining Walls
ICF isn’t just for above-ground use. With the right engineering, it can double as an insulated retaining wall system.
✔ Elevator Shafts & Stairwells
Non-combustible options like the Nudura One Series are ideal for enclosed vertical structures in both residential and commercial builds.
✔ Sound-Sensitive Structures
Music studios, offices, or any place that needs peace and quiet. ICF naturally reduces outside noise — no added layers required.
Build Smarter with Enercore
We’ve worked in a lot of construction environments — and we’ve seen what lasts. That’s why we build with ICF. It’s strong, adaptable, and built for the demands of modern construction.
“If you can imagine it, chances are we can build it better with ICF.”
