Builders are increasingly understanding the danger

Builders are increasingly understanding the dangers associated with radon. The toxic gas is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers; it’s invisible, odorless, and surprisingly good at infiltrating homes.

Learn why Heat-Sheet Heavy outperforms the conventionally used 4-inch gravel as a radon diffusion layer from the #linkinbio.

It’s no secret that insulated concrete forms (ICFs) offer higher energy performance than wood-framed or CMU assemblies. But did you know that building with ICFs helps you cut your labor expenditures in two significant ways?

Over-slab insulation is common in retrofits in nor

Over-slab insulation is common in retrofits in northern climate zones because it allows homeowners to insulate their slabs without ripping them out. Typically, in such applications, a 1.5-inch layer of rigid insulation goes on top of an existing slab-on-grade before you install the new subflooring.

But did you know that the same approach can also work very well in new construction?

ICFs make a suitable building material for gable w

ICFs make a suitable building material for gable walls, especially if the gable section is heated or the gable walls require high wind resistance. For example, a high vaulted ceiling in a great room is bound to accumulate rising heat, so blocking heat transfer with highly efficient ICFs is an excellent idea.
