Superior Comfort. The solid concrete core of an Arxx wall stabilizes the temperature in your home because of its thermal mass. This provides you with consistent temperatures throughout the day. Arxx is the only Insulated Concrete Wall System that provides a solid-to-solid attachment for all finishing materials (such as drywall, siding or brick ties). This helps prevent problems like screw pops and siding sag because it extends the strength of the concrete core through to all of your finishing materials.

Weather Resistance. Our lightweight, expanded polystyrene forms interlock to build in superior comfort, quiet and security in all weather. The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene coupled with the structural integrity of reinforced concrete is a powerful combination – it makes Arxx walls stronger, safer, quieter and energy efficient. In test after test, Arxx walls meet or exceed building code standards.

Energy Savings. With its high R-values, low air infiltration and high thermal mass, you can use a smaller heating and cooling system. This can save you up to and over 50% of heating and cooling costs (depending on the region where you live) compared to a conventional home. In fact, your Arxx home may qualify for an energy efficient mortgage.

Quiet Confidence. Arxx walls carry an impressive Sound Transmission Class (STC) of up to 50 or more. This means it's a lot quieter inside an Arxx home. In fact, many commercial builders use Arxx walls when they are building movie theaters because Arxx provides such effective sound control. Next to comfort, "quietness" is the benefit most often cited by families who live in ICF homes. They say that after living in a home built with insulated concrete walls, they would never live in a conventional wood frame home again.
