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.
