| ICF
Construction – All Pride Homes are constructed using
the ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) building method. This form
of construction cannot be compared to the typical wood frame
or CBS block construction as our ICF system requires that
all exterior walls be solid concrete and reinforced by steel.
Our ICF blocks solid, monolithic concrete core is stronger
than other building systems and provides a greater thermal
mass, significantly increasing energy efficiency and strength.
The costs of building with ICF are significantly higher than
typical wood or block construction but long term savings for
the homeowner are substantial. Learn
more about ICF construction.
ICF Benefits – Building with
ICF offers many benefits to both the homeowner and the environment.
- Energy Efficiencies
– A Pride Home consistently saves 25- 50% in monthly
utility costs over the life span of the structure, translating
into fewer resources consumed for the creation of energy.
Beyond the insulating qualities of the foam block (R-22),
the thermal mass of the concrete acts as an energy reservoir,
which helps maintain an even indoor temperature. The R-value
of the of our ICF forms alone is R-22, easily 30% above
the minimum standard for the current energy code.
- Hurricane Resistance
- The combination of ICF, reinforced steel and concrete
provide extra strength to withstand any form of severe
weather.
- Environmental Benefits
- An average 2,000ft home built with the Pride Homes ICF
system can save up to 47 trees, which would have been
cut for creating lumber.
- Improving the
Quality of Building - Our ICF building system
does not contain CFCs, HCFCs, formaldehyde, asbestos or
fiberglass. The EPS used in the ICF forms is completely
stable and inert, and it will NOT break down over time.
- Improving the
Control of Air Quality
– Our ICF system greatly reduces the air infiltration
into a structure, thereby allowing for greater control
of the quality of the interior air. There are no drafts
or cold spots.
- Mold and Mildew
Resistance – ICF walls resist moisture
and will not support the growth of mold or mildew.
- Improving the Sound
Barrier - Due to the thickness of our walls and
unique construction our buildings reduce sound at a rate
of 40%. Our double insulated core acts as a great sound
barrier, significantly reducing unwanted noise from outside.
- Fire Rating
– Our ICF system has up to a four-hour Fire Resistive
Rating.
- Energy Efficient
Mortgage
- The FHA has devised an Energy -Efficient Mortgage (EEM)
program to help achieve national energy-efficiency goals
(and reduce pollution) and provide better housing for
people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. By
considering the savings on monthly utility bills when
determining how large a mortgage the household can afford,
as many as 250,000 more new home buyers could qualify
per year, according to a 1986 study by the Joint Center
for Housing Studies. Although EEM’s have been available
in some States since 1980, they have been little understood
or marketed.
- Architectural Design
- are extremely versatile allowing almost any structure
to be constructed. Our base can take any conventional
finishing product such as but not limited to: brick, stone,
stucco, wood and vinyl siding.
- Savings with PRIDE
