The Benefits Of Using Logix Insulated Concrete Forms
 
 

The LOGIX Advantage:

For the homeowner : compared to thinner forms, the thicker LOGIX forms reduce heat losses, giving you a higher R-Value. LOGIX not only offers higher energy savings, but also a more comfortable living environment.

For the builder : the thicker LOGIX forms make them easier to handle and install, resulting in quicker installation on the site and providing straight walls.

 
 

Highly Energy Efficient

The foam in LOGIX walls provides a thermal resistance rating of R-24. This exceptionally high R-value, along with high thermal mass and reduced air filtration, allow LOGIX walls to deliver significantly higher performance levels.

 

Strength

LOGIX buildings are up to 8.5 times stronger than conventionally framed buildings. As a result, LOGIX walls are much better able to withstand severe weather such as hurricanes and tornados. LOGIX walls have a 3-hour fire rating as opposed to 15 minutes for a comparable wood framed wall.

 

Superior Sound Insulation

LOGIX walls offer you a quieter, more tranquil interior environment. A LOGIX wall can easily achieve a sound transmission classification of STC50, which is twice as high a typical wood-framed wall. Loud noises outside a LOGIX building will be reduced to a whisper inside the building.

 

Moisture Resistant

ICF walls don't need an extra vapor barrier. For below-grade applications, LOGIX provides a waterproofing system that ensures a comfortably dry basement. Improved air quality is another benefit as LOGIX eliminates the studs and cavities that can hold moisture and foster mold and mildew growth.

 

Environmentally Friendly

Buildings constructed with LOGIX are designed to last for centuries, not decades. LOGIX ICF walls conserve precious natural forest resources and their energy efficiency reduces fuel consumption. The use of LOGIX promotes sustainable, green building practices, and is an investment in the future.
