More Developers Now Use ICF Than Ever Before
Why are developers and building owners all over the country are turning to ICF construction? Because in today's construction environment, they are looking for new ways to increase profitability by reducing construction and maintenance costs.
At Reward, we're sure that our insulating concrete formwork will provide the construction speed and economy, durability, and design flexibility to make your next development the best you've ever built!
A Better Building for Every Type of Building
More Design Flexibility
No matter what the development or building project, Reward ICFs can make it better. Reward ICFs will accommodate any floor plan, any design features, and any interior or exterior finishes.
Hotels and Multi-Occupancy Structures
Reward is perfect for both exterior and interior walls. Since almost no noise can penetrate a Reward wall, it not only blocks outside noise, but also makes an ideal party wall for peace and privacy.
Hospitals, Clinics and Hi-Tech Dust-Free Environments
Reward provides an indoor environment that is virtually free of airborne contaminants. Great for buildings containing computer components or other sensitive instruments.
Schools, Office Buildings and Churches
Because of Reward's outstanding 3 and 4 hour fire ratings, you can provide unprecedented protection from fire to the occupants of your buildings. Reward buildings are also highly secure due to the strength of the in-situ concrete core construction.
Banking and Retail
Nothing beats steel-reinforced concrete for strength. Again, Reward provides the highest level of security, not only for exterior walls, but also for interior vaults and storage facilities.
Warehouses and Factories
With an effective 0.24 W/m²K U-Value, Reward walls produce buildings that stay cool and dry in summer and warm in winter.
Multi-Storey Structures
Reward ICFs have been used for the infill walls on what are believed to be the tallest (eleven stories) and the largest (436,161 square feet) ICF buildings ever constructed.
A Better Building, Built Faster
Faster and More Efficient
Reward ICF walls go up quickly and easily. Shorter construction time means less cost to you. Since Reward ICFs accomplish three steps in one - walls, insulation and furring. The same team builds the whole wall ready to finish.
Reward walls are so energy efficient that you can reduce the size of your heating and cooling units by as much as 50%, which will save you hundreds or even thousands of pounds, depending on the size of your building.
A Better Building, Better Protection
Fire Performance Un-Matched!
Reward's steel-reinforced concrete walls will keep those who live and work in your buildings safe from high windstorms and fire. Since Reward forms stay in place and become part of the wall, the concrete within the forms continues to cure to a strength at least 50% greater than concrete cast using traditional formwork construction methods.
Fire safety is another benefit of ICF construction. In 2000, Reward ICFs earned a four-hour rating in tests by Omega Point Laboratories, which exceeds most building regulation requirements. Reward is also the first and currently the only ICF company that has gained universal non-combustible code approval making large-scale commercial construction possible.
A Better Building, Built to be Enjoyed!
More Comfortable
Reward walls create a solid, continuous wall that eliminates air infiltration and uncomfortable drafts, hot and cold spots, and wide temperature fluctuations. Since only controlled, filtered air comes inside, the occupants of your buildings will enjoy air quality that is virtually free of all airborne pollen, mold, mildew, dust and other allergens.
Aand with an acoustic value of over 52 dB on party walls (tested by Homebond), Reward walls will ensure that the interior environment of your building is not only comfortable, but quiet as well. Reward walls reduce the noise of heavy equipment operating right outside, to the level of a whisper inside. Road and air traffic is inaudible.
More Durable
The energy efficiency of Reward walls can reduce your heating and cooling costs by 50 - 80%. Your energy savings, combined with lower insurance rates for masonry construction and virtually no continuing maintenance costs, means that your life cycle costs will be much lower than with conventional commercial construction.
