When owners, designers and builders make cost-effective and technically superior decisions in a manner that is environmentally responsible, they are providing the best design solution for both the owner and the environment. ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Performance Benefits include: - Energy Efficient (Insulation on Exterior of Thermal Mass) - Soundproof - Fireproof (4 hr Fire Rating, 0 Smoke Spread, 0 Flame Spread), - No VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) - Moisture Resistant - Promotes Healthy Interiors (breathable / inhibits mold) - Impact Resistant - Termite/Vermin Resistant Choosing superior, environmentally friendly Durisol ICF will guarantee that your building will endure for generations, while having minimal impact on the environment around us. Durisol has a unique combination of desirable properties: ENERGY EFFICIENT - ability to store heat results in reduced heating & cooling costs. -SOUND PROTECTION - In combination with the mass of the wall system Durisol can provide an ideal combination of sound absorption and sound transmission properties. STC ratings for Durisol wall systems can range between 54 and 72, while the exposed surface of the Durisol Wall Form can provide Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings as high as 1.0. -IMPACT RESISTANCE - Standard renders applied directly to the Durisol material result in a finish that is less expensive and more impact resistant than conventional EIFS systems (polystyrene, lath and render). -IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY - The cement content of the Durisol material creates an above average pH environment at the wall surface, which inhibits the growth of fungi and viruses. The Durisol material is completely inert with no VOCs or off-gassing. Furthermore, the hygroscopic nature of the material moderates RH level. This regulation of water vapour keeps humidity low and further serves to repress any type of fungal growth. Contact us at +61 (0) 3 9758 5331 or ujacobs@durisol.com.au for more information.
