We get many inquiries asking about Insulated Concrete Panels [ICF's] and the first thing to know is there are a few types of ICF's meant for different functions.

These are often called concrete sandwich panels or precast insulated wall panels —are complete building systems featuring a layer of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two concrete layers, or wythes.

Main Types of Insulated Concrete Panels:

Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels - Factory-made panels with interior and exterior concrete layers connected by non-conductive ties through a continuous insulation layer. They can be load-bearing or non-load-bearing.

Concrete Faced Insulation (CFI) - Thinner panels (like WallGUARD) made with extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam and a durable latex-modified concrete facing, used primarily to insulate exposed foundation perimeters.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) - Hollow stay-in-place expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam blocks (such as Amvic ICF R30) stacked and filled with reinforced concrete on-site.

Key Benefits:
High Energy Efficiency - Continuous edge-to-edge insulation eliminates thermal bridging and reduces air leakage.

Durability - The outer concrete shell resists weather, wind loads, impact, and fire.

Fast Installation - Factory precasting or interlocking dry-stack systems streamline the building envelope process.

We have benen learning about ICF's for the past decade as one of friends in Ontario has been using them in his builds and educating us on thCharette Custom Homes Inc.st#makeitright.#mikeholmesg#holmesapproved##icfconstructionic#ICFstruction #ICF

With Thanksgiving coming up we are loving this kitchen in a custom bungalow from our partners at Lexis Homes.

There’s something we really like about seeing a home before the furniture goes in. When the space is empty, you notice the craftsmanship and the details a whole lot more.

This kitchen was designed to be clean, functional, and built for real everyday living. It features an extended island with a built-in tabletop, integrated appliances hidden in the millwork, a wall oven with a vacuum seal drawer, and a walk-in pantry to keep the clutter out of sight.

Good design isn’t just about looks—it’s about how the space works for the people living in it.
