Self-Build Success with Reward ICF!
A concrete home built with Reward insulating concrete forms (ICFs) offers so much more than a traditionally built house.
Beauty and Versatility
From the outside and from the inside, you would never guess a Reward house is made of concrete. Your Reward home can be finished just like any other house. except your Reward house will be much stronger and better insulated.
A Reward house can have design features like curved walls and arched windows - Reward easily adapts to any floor plan you choose.
See the Difference
A Reward concrete home offers safe haven from the noise and pollution of the outside world.
Clean and Quiet
The first thing you notice in a Reward house is how quiet it is. Reward walls have achieved a sound transmission class rating that makes it one of the "quietest" building products on the market. In a Reward house you can turn up the volume on the stereo without bothering the neighbours. And the noise of a lawn mower outside will be reduced to the level of a whisper inside.
The next thing you notice is the wonderful quality of the air. Reward walls greatly reduce the amount of air infiltration, and therefore reduce the level of airborne dust and allergens. If, like many of us, you or your family members are prone to allergies, you will breathe easier. and you won't have to dust nearly as often!
Feel the Difference
A Reward concrete home offers the comfort of even temperatures winter and summer, and protection from the elements.
Comfort and Safety
When you walk around inside a Reward house, you notice that the temperature remains constant no matter what part of the house you're in. Upstairs, downstairs, basement - they're all the same. A Reward house stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with no cold or hot spots. The temperature is uniform throughout the house.
Think of the peace of mind you would have knowing your family is living in a concrete house that can protect them from hazardous storms and fire. Reward steel-reinforced concrete walls have stood up to winds of more than 200mph with no damage to the walls themselves. With Reward, you have more than a safe room - you have a safe house! In case of fire, Reward concrete walls have been proven to withstand fire for as much as four hours, affording you and your family a much greater degree of safety.
