ICF Builder Magazine is the information source for contractors, architects, and others involved with the insulating concrete form industry. It’s the only trade magazine devoted to the industry, with project profiles, how-to articles, house plans, and product reviews. Insulating Concrete Forms are the future of the building industry. Popular for both residential and commercial ICF construction, ICFs create homes and businesses that are energy-efficient, fire-resistant, sound-proof, and durable. Properly constructed, they are tornado and hurricane-proof, and stand up to earthquake, fire, and other natural disasters equally well. Many homes conserve energy so well that heating and cooling costs are reduced by 50-70 percent.
