Q Forms ICF products will not only save on construction time and labour but will also allow you to provide clients with houses or buildings that outperform all other building methods.
As building codes continue to change and the desire for increased energy efficiency continues to rise, contractors who build with energy efficient building materials are becoming more and more in demand. Q Forms insulated concrete forms provide builders and developers with the simplest, most reliable way to achieve the new energy efficiency standards prescribed by the recently updated Building Code.
Insulated Concrete wall systems are optimal for the threat of tornados, hurricanes, severe storms and even earthquakes. Hurricanes and earthquakes in the United States have increased in severity. Nudura ICF wall systems provide better anchorage of buildings because of the concrete core and the form’s flexibility in being able to add and accurately position both vertical and horizontal steel as needed to resist seismic forces based on prevailing Codes and Engineering design requirements.
Nudura insulated concrete wall systems will withstand winds of up to 402 kph (250 mph), ensuring that your home or building is safe and secure in almost any situation. The strength of the insulated concrete wall systems comes from the steel-reinforced solid concrete core. Nudura offers Insulated Concrete Forms in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 12 inches of concrete that stand between you and the elements. When compared to traditional wood-frame walls, that offer only soft bat insulation and a wood frame, the strength and safety you get with a Nudura insulated concrete wall systems is far superior.
Q Forms insulated concrete forms offer a wide range of performance benefits for both houses and buildings. Some of the benefits offered by structures built with Q Forms ICF include:

THE QUESTION IS...WHY WOOD YOU?
Nudura ICF Forms are high-tech industry-leading insulated concrete forms that have proven technologies to make building easier and faster. The Nudura line of ICFs offers innovation that is exclusive to Nudura, which allows builders the ability to build and design structures with greater efficiency.
Offering superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging, resulting in even temperatures throughout your home with reduced drafts and cold spots, ensuring you are comfortable no matter what the temperature is outside by providing Performance Values saving building owners up to *60% in annual energy costs. ICF also acts as an effective sound barrier by dampening sound vibrations from unwanted outside noise, such as traffic, trains, and neighbors.
ICF walls are built with reinforced concrete and fire-retardant Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS), providing a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours - 4 times that of a typical wood-frame home.
Nudura ICFs in addition provide greater impact resistance and can be engineered to withstand some of mother nature's worst, like winds up to 250 mph (402 kph) ensuring that the occupants of the home are safe and secure. Nudura’s concrete embedded multi-purpose roof/ truss anchor system provides greater resistance to wind uplift forces than most other conventional systems. Structural reinforced concrete in a Nudura building offers substantially better durability and typically better results in lower life cycle costs compared to wood structures.
After his home burned down in Colorado fires last year, Architectural professor Matt Morris is rebuilding his home with Nudura ICF.
insulated concrete forms are quicker and easier to install than wood framing and take up less space on the jobsite, saving you money on labour and other expenses.
With advanced energy efficient insulation that creates comfortable temperatures for occupants, you can trust that your house or building will meet or exceed all energy codes.
Utilizing insulated concrete forms in your project will allow you to build year-round, even in below-freezing temperatures.
Q Forms ICF provides energy efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable products for building eco-friendly homes as responsibly as possible.
Over the years, an increase in seismic activity has led to more earthquakes in the United States and even in Canada. An ICF wall system provides better anchorage for your house thanks to the concrete core and the forms’ flexibility, which allows the builder to add and accurately position vertical and horizontal steel reinforcement.
When you build with ICFs, you can rest easy knowing that your family, belongings, and home are secure in almost any situation. Plus, with costs to repair damages of natural disasters on the rise, a disaster-resilient home is a smart investment for your wallet, too.
Q Forms ICFs are strong and safe products that can endure winds up to 250 miles per hour equivalent to an F4 tornado , as well as provide fire protection for up to 4 hours. In fact, a home that used Nudura ICFs was still standing in Florida after Hurricane Michael. This technology means even the strongest windstorm is unlikely to cause cold drafts, so you can enjoy a more comfortable indoor climate and you will spend less on heating your home.
Concrete is tougher and less flammable than wood, so if there is a fire, you and your family will be much safer in an ICF home. The ICF wall’s concrete core combined with non-toxic, fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam provides a fire protection rating of up to four hours. As seen in photos above.
How is one house able to resist Mother Nature's Category 5 monster winds? According to Dr. Lebron Lackey, he and his uncle chose to fortify their beachside home by building with the most resistant materials available, including NUDURA ICFs.
