Insulating Concrete Forms Construction Manual

Insulated concrete forming systems (ICFs) provide many benefits to both contractors and homeowners. Hidden from view under sheetrock and siding,ICFs offer low labor costs; are easy to install; and are durable,energy-efficient,fire-safe,and virtually soundproof. Homes built with these systems look like any other,but under the standard covering lie solid,built-to-last concrete walls. Endorsed by the Portland Cement Association,this concise handbook gives contractors the hands-on information they need to use ICFs in the field. Authors Peter A. VanderWerf and W. Keith Munsell describe how these systems work,how to train crews to install them cost-effectively,and where to order product.
