LOGIX Versus Wood Frame Construction
 
  Wood-frame wall system LOGIX ICF construction
Energy Efficiency
  • Thermal bridging
  • Gaps in insulation
  • Erosion of R value
  • No thermal bridging
  • Continuous insulation
  • Constant R value for life
Environmental Impact
  • Minimal reduction in green - house gas emissions
  • Service life 30 to 50 years maximum
  • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 1/3 or 3 tons annually
  • Service life up to 100 years
Air Quality
  • May contain adhesives and VOCs that off - gas
  • Wood and moisture provide an ideal environment for mold
  • EPS and concrete are non-toxic and do not off - gas
  • No nutrient source exists in structure for mold growth
Durability
  • Poor wind rating
  • Fire rating in minutes
  • Wind rated up to 200 mph
  • Fire rated for up to 4 hours

Unlike traditional walls, the LOGIX ICF wall system prevents costly energy loss and dramatically lowers your energy bills.
