Icf Roof Construction

Examples of this are buildblock s builddeck and lite deck.

Icf roof construction.

Creating suspended concrete slabs using quad deck insulated concrete forms used for floors roofs green roofs radiant heating and much more. Three of the homes featured a gable roof design one a hip design. Near airports these icf roofs have proven to dramatically reduce sound infiltration. 20 percent or more energy savings 10 30 percent less outside air infiltration a 4 hour fire rating twice the strength and three times quieter.

Building an icf home saves energy money and improves the safety and comfort of its occupants. Just like icf walls the combination of foam and concrete in the roof protects interior spaces from outside temperature fluctuations. The project consists of 4 two story single family homes averaging around 725 ft 2 footprint. Icf anatomy insulated concrete form walls are constructed by pouring concrete into hollow pre formed panels which are most commonly made of expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene foam.

Icf roof panels are typically 6 inches or thicker and can span up to 40 feet with thickness increasing as span increases. One advantage of an icf roof is that the insulation for the roof is already in place and protected on the inside of the roof. Specifically icf homeowners can expect the following benefits over a wood frame home. Each home was designed and constructed using an icf wall system and lite deck icf roof system.

Icf roof system applications for icf floor forming panels by using the highly insulated eps deck floor system construction professionals can easily and cost effectively build a solid load bearing flat or low slope reinforced concrete roof structure with inherently high insulation values ideal for finishing with a green roof system. Insulated concrete forms for floors and roofs quad deck uses unique technology to create an energy efficient and quality insulating concrete floor and roof system. Our home uses these forms from the foundation to the roofline. Because the concrete and rebar provide the strength of the wall not the form temporary framing is used during the pour.
