An educational repost from @patrick.vandoorne cove

An educational repost from @patrick.vandoorne covering an important question!

“How do I know that the concrete has filled all the voids in an ICF wall if I can’t see it?”🤔
•
My response:
•
Answer: It isn’t any different than a conventional form and you don’t see guys who know what they are doing repairing poured walls.
•
This is why you should find an experienced #ICFInstaller who knows and understands the pour process, the best mix design, and how to qualitatively test for concrete consolidation.
•
🌟Here is a prime example🌟 On #thecraftsmantownhouse project we poured up into the first course of the dormer wall but then realized we needed it 5-1/2” wider. So we removed the end caps and replaced the block. You can actually see where the concrete formed into the small knobs that interlock the blocks together. If this void is full, we know we are in good shape.

Jobsites, construction activities, and a building’s live loads can expose products like Heat-Sheet to harsh conditions, especially if heavy loads are applied to the floor. If you’re using Heat-Sheet, you may rightfully wonder just how much load these slender panels can withstand without damage and the resulting waste.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: Heat-Sheet panels with the lowest #CompressiveStrength of 25 psi are more than strong enough under most circumstances. And if you expect significant loads, Heat-Sheet has a special product that will have you covered.

Tomorrow we're excited to be joining The @nrmcassociation and @habitatricecounty for our site visit event!

This event will showcase the current developments of the #RiceCounty #HabitatforHumanity build, as well as explore the latest innovations in #InsulatedConcreteForms (ICF) construction thanks to our sponsorship with the #icfma

@LogixICF combines the strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the versatility of highly engineered rigid insulation to provide the most ideal building material.

From improved energy efficiency to lower life cycle costs, ICFs are the building material of choice thanks to their affordability, sustainability, and durability. #BuildWithStrength @amcon @cemstone_1927

Last Chance To Register For Tomorrow's Basic Installer Training For @logixicf - Session 1 (of 2)!

Building with #LogixICF is not overly difficult, but you will certainly be able to complete your projects faster and more profitably when you have the benefit of our Logix ICF Basic #InstallerTraining.

And, with the incredibly volatile #lumberprices we've recently seen, budget planning for a super comfortable and highly #energyefficient Logix ICF home is a lot easier and certainly much less risky than budget planning for a regular conventional build.

Demising walls are crucial to privacy and comfort

Demising walls are crucial to privacy and comfort — the 2 things your tenants want most out of their building!

Demising walls, like the ones built within @30.uc by @paragondesignbuild, are built with #LogixICF and come out on top when you compare their performance to traditional, wood-framed assemblies!

A Great #Repost from @patrick.vandoorne featuring the ⭐ FOUNDATION WATERPROOFING DETAILS AND FROST PROTECTION AT #thecraftsmantownhouse.⭐
•
The #1 killer of buildings is bulk water (rain, surface, and ground water). We are eliminating risk of water intrusion by creating a #watertight layer, providing free drainage at the footing, removing hydrostatic pressure, and adequately directing roof and surface runoff away from the structure. The details matter.
•
Since this house is on a crawl space, it is very important that we protect the shallow foundation from frost movement. To protect from frost we need to trap the heat from the earth from escaping so that frost can’t migrate down to the u/s of the footing and cause the expansive clay soils to swell (remember energy always loves from hot to cold so you have to lose the heat). We did this by adding a 4’ wide frost shield around the perimeter of the building using @logixbrands Halo Subterra.

#RadiantFloorHeating (RFH) is an excellent way to increase the value of your home (and your property’s #ResaleValue ) When pre-built into basement flooring, an underfloor #HeatingSystem is a cost-effective and comfortable way to heat your home.

We love seeing details like this from @risingerbuild on his first fully insulated slab-on-grade foundation!

The slab was poured with 10” curbs on all exterior walls then the @beam_team panels were set to get them dried in. All penetrations for plumbing & electrical have @termimesh termite barriers. THEN they laid 2” of @logixbrands Halo Subterra GPS (graphite infused polystyrene) R10 foam with a 25psi rating. Then the final 4” slab is the finished floor with integral color mixed into the batch onsite.

Stay tuned for the full video on the @thebuildshow coming soon!

Unlike forced-air units, which use convection to move heat, RHF systems rely on radiation.

Because hydronic heaters don’t blow dirty outdoor air inside a home, their operations do not affect the indoor air quality. There’s no dust, no allergens, no noise – just warmth, rising slowly from the floor.

There are some pretty cool things happening over at @tohsaratoga with @tomsilvatoh alongside @whitbeckmatthew and his team for another great project by @thisoldhouse 🏠

Keep an eye on this project as it develops, and if you check out the live camera (link in their bio), you might also get some hints as to what they're up to😉

"Progress and expansion are underway at the #TOHSaratoga project house in #SaratogaSpringsNY. Evan, a schoolteacher, and his wife, Whitney, want to move back into the house where Evan grew up and begin raising a family. They also want a comfortable suite for his mother, but the house is in need of substantial upgrades. Scattershot additions will be removed to give way to a single one that includes a new kitchen, mudroom, bedroom, and balcony. Multiple narrow and steep staircases will be removed and the footprint reconfigured to make way for a single, more useful one."
