Q. Is there a ‘fun fact’ about the home you’d like to share?

This home has Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).  ICFs are a wall building material that are an alternative to traditional wood-frame housing. Instead of framing the walls with studs, walls are formed using Styrofoam blocks.  ICF wall systems consist of foam boards made from expanded polystyrene and integral hinged plastic webs that hold both sides of the boards together.  The building material is light, simple, and easy to work with.  Forms have male/female interlocking surfaces that simply snap together like Lego.  Once assembled, concrete is poured into the form.  Because the foundation forms remain in place after the concrete is poured, they help insulate the home more efficiently.
