NUDURA PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS

MAXIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY - NUDURA Homes can provide up to *2X Greater energy efficiency
NUDURA is a highly insulated concrete wall–with no air spaces or studs–which vastly reduces air infiltration. When you combine NUDURA’s 2 5/8” EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam with the structural strength of reinforced concrete, our Ceiling and Floor Technology, you can be sure you are building a home that has superior energy efficiency over traditional building methods.

GREATER SOUND RESISTANCE - NUDURA can provide up to *3X Greater Sound Resistance.
NUDURA’s double foam insulated concrete core acts as an effective sound barrier, filtering out unwanted noise, dampening sound vibrations and ensuring a serene and comfortable ambience within your home.
To achieve sound resistance of up to 3x a NUDURA® 6” form or higher must be used.

GREATER HOME COMFORT
Concrete homes built with NUDURA^® Insulated Concrete Forms can provide up to *9X greater Comfort. Outside cold can easily travel through a typical wood-framed wall causing thermal bridging, creating uncomfortable cold spots inside your home. NUDURA concrete homes built with our ICF technology offer superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging, resulting in even temperatures throughout your home with reduced drafts and cold spots.

FIRE PROTECTION - NUDURA offers up to *4X greater fire protection
Building with NUDURA offers your family greater fire protection with up to a 4 hour fire protection rating (4 times that of a wood framed home). NUDURA^® Insulated Concrete Form walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and a non toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam. *NUDURA fire protection rating excludes the NUDURA 4” form

SUPERIOR STORM RESISTANCE – Up to *9X More Durable
Compared to traditional building methods like wood or steel framed walls, NUDURA ICF’s provides greater durability and strength. NUDURA^® Walls can better withstand Mother Nature’s worst – especially in high wind areas that are prone to hurricanes and tornadoes. NUDURA walls can withstand winds of up to 250 mph.

Healthier indoor air quality and long lasting value When you build with NUDURA^® Insulated Concrete Forms you can be sure that you will have a structure that is safe and comfortable, yet built at a competitive price with minimal long-term maintenance and service costs.

Note*
The performance claims referred to in this web site are based on a comparison between a typical 8' high Nudura wall with a 6" core, properly built to the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) and installed in accordance with NUDURA's specifications and a typical 8' high 2" x 6" wood-framed wall insulated with R20 batt insulation, properly built to NBC and with regard to "fire resistance" on ratings listed in the NBC, with regard to "sound resistance" on ratings listed in the NBC and in the study "Insulating Concrete Forms" by VanderWerf, Feige, Chammas and Lemay, with regard to "durable" and "comfort" on an independent analysis and with regards to "energy efficiency" in the study "Energy Consumption of Concrete Homes Versus wood Fram Homes" published by Dr. Pieter VanderWerf for the Portland Cement Association. Such performance claims may vary depending on certain atmospheric conditions and geographical locations.
