You will rarely see The Phoenix Group build a home with anything other than the ICF wall system. Why?
 |
| Seagate at Grand Harbour features the super-efficient ICF block system |
Energy Efficiency
Reduce your energy costs by 15 – 20 %. Dwellings built with ICF exterior walls are less expensive to cool.
 |
| This exterior wall shows clearly the solid concrete wall encased on both sides by insulating foam |
Healthier Buildings
The ICF block cavities are filled with solid concrete and the resulting wall assembly is not conducive to the growth of mold or mildew.
Flexibility in Design
The versatility of the ICF building system allows builders to create beautifully designed structures with curves, angles and any shape imaginable. They can be completed with any number of different finishes to enhance their beauty, such as siding, brick, stucco or stone.
 |
| This home, above and below, which we are presently building in Lalique, combines the ICF system and steel framing to create large open spans within the home. |
Improved Air Quality
Solid insulated concrete walls provide a highly effective barrier against outside air infiltration. Airtight dwellings, properly ventilated, reduce dust and allergens, such as pollen.
 |
| The hurricane windows in this home, which we are presently building in Crystal Harbour, have waterproofed openings (black material around windows), which combined with the ICF system, create an airtight assembly that make the home impervious to the exterior elements |
Peace and Quiet
ICF walls significantly reduce the amount of outside noise penetration, making for a quieter interior environment.
 |
| We use the locally produced ICF product, Foxblock, made in Grand Cayman by Flowers Foam Products. For more information on their products visit: www.flowersfoam.ky |
