Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms using Design Basics home plans.

Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms are ideal for a home's outside walls because of their energy efficiency and structural strength. These lightweight, hollow foam blocks are stacked like Legos® and are then filled with concrete.

Virtually any exterior finish or siding materials can be used over the ICFs. With 21/2" thick expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation on both sides of the wall, Amvic ICF homes typically achieve a 30-50% reduction in heating and air conditioning costs.

These well-insulated, virtually airtight walls also create a very quiet home. Having a home free from outside noise not only helps provide a good night's sleep, the quiet promotes concentration, reduces irritability and enhances overall well-being. Amvic ICFs also minimize any threat of mold, save an average of ten trees per house and help protect homes from insects, wind and fire damage.
