Q. What was the major benefit of using Amvic ICF over conventional construction?
A. The major benefit of using Amvic ICF was that the products met with our vision for this project which was to provide affordable housing and low heating costs.
Q. Why did you choose Amvic?
A. We like the AMVIC block because it requires minimal maintenance and worked well with our exterior finish of acrylic stucco.
“We chose to build with ICF’s for several reasons. We wanted to provide homeowners with energy efficient, affordable housing, in an old town area. With ICF’s we achieved that, and completed the project on time for occupancy because we were able to build during the winter months. The ICF’s also complimented our exterior stucco finish which was what we had envisioned. We are proud to say that we had sold out occupancy and were able to provide affordable housing in that region for several new homeowners.”
