ICF vs. ICCF
- Brian Johnson transitioned from ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) to ICCF (Insulated Composite Concrete Form) construction.
- ICF contains styrene, which can negatively impact air quality, while ICCF uses recycled wood and is non-toxic.
ICCF Benefits
- ICCF blocks are lightweight, easy to install, and require minimal bracing.
- They offer high insulation, moisture permeability, and sound reduction.
