What is PolySteel I.C.F. forms?

PolySteel is an Insulated Concrete Form (I.C.F.) to provide an interior or exterior polystyrene wall, that when constructed will provide a form structure capable of containing concrete when placed. The Insulating forms stay in place after the placing of the concrete to provide your insulation as well as a tool for attaching your interior and exterior finishes.

The PolySteel wall system combines solid, reinforced concrete with high density expanded polystyrene and galvanized steel to create structures that are more comfortable, more energy efficient and more structurally secure than homes built with traditional construction methods.

A PolySteel Home Can Withstand Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Fire

PolySteel contains high energy efficient walls of insulated concrete forms and can withstand assult weapon fire, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as fire.

There are many benefits you get when building with PolySteel I.C.F. such as: Superior Strength: PolySteel Forms create a monolithic concrete wall with vertical columns spaced on 12 in centers and horizontal beams on 16 in centers. Between these columns and beams are webs of solid concrete. PolySteel forms provide the ideal conditions for curing, allowing the concrete to exceed its normal design strength by up to 50%

I.C.F. Will Save Money on Energy Costs & Is Also Quiet

Superior energy efficiency: PolySteel buildings can save you up to 50% to 80% on the cost of heating and cooling. When constructing your new home or project with PolySteel you can also save on the cost of HVAC by downsizing the units due to the tremendous insulating characteristics of Polysteel.

Sound Barrier: With only 1/2" drywall, Polysteel walls have a laboratory tested minimum Sound Class Rating of 48+. From party walls inside, to barrier walls from traffic on the outside, Polysteel keeps the noise out and away from where you live and work.

Building with PolySteel Will Protect Your Home from Fire

Fire Resistance: PolySteel provides a minimum 4 hour Class A fire wall before any wall covering is applied. Polysteel's extremely low toxicity, smoke development, and flame spread, make our walls safer from the hazards of fire. The air tightness of Polysteel structures also inhibit the oxygen needed to allow fire to spread rapidly.

Reduced Air Filtration: Do you have allergies,do you hate to dust? Then maybe you should consider building with Polysteel. Polysteel homes and buildings consistently average . 1 Air exchanges per hour (ACH) This means that the air is completely replaced every 10 hours. This is compared to . 4 ACH for wood-framed structures (an air exchange every 2.5 hours) The result is much less dust and pollen and less heat loss.

PolySteel I.C.F. Will Resist Termites and Other Pests

Termite Protection: PolySteel is the only manufactured insulating concrete form available with Perform Guard EPS Termite-Resistant Insulation. Perform Guard is the only code-recognized method for installing foam insulation below grade in the infested areas of the U.S.

Bug resistant: Due to the "tight wall system, the potiential for insects and other pests to enter your home is greatly reduced.
