Durable insulated concrete forms made from sustainable materials; our products have a minimal impact on the environment around us, providing you with a high-performance building that is energy efficient, strong, healthy, and green.
Impact Resistant
Standard stuccos applied over the Nexcem ICF substrate result in a finish that is less expensive and far more impact resistant than conventional EIFS systems (polystyrene and stucco). Detailed information regarding the use of stuccos and other finishes with the Nexcem wall system can be found in the Technical Guide.
Moisture Resistant
The Nexcem material is moisture resistant and will not rot or degrade in the presence of moisture (short or long term)
Termite Proof
Unlike wood and other materials that absorb moisture from the air, Nexcem effectively resist termites. A number of testing programs have been conducted by independent agencies such as the U.S. Forestry Service. In these tests, Nexcem samples were placed in termite-infested areas for as long as six years without any destruction of the Nexcem material.
Fire Proof
For maximum safety in concrete home design or in the design of any other building, the Nexcem ICF wall system has a 4-hour fire rating. The surface burning characteristics of our ICF units far surpass all other types of ICF products. Our products have a flame spread and smoke spread rating of zero. Unlike foam, Nexcem will not ignite, melt, sustain fire, or release toxic smoke in the event of a fire.
