Nine Great Reasons: #4
It’s More Durable

 

“This house is so tight we get virtually no dust, even though we live on a gravel road. The furniture and my wife’s decorating stay clean.”

Unlike conventional homes where walls and floors loosen and shift over time creating warps and creaks, A Premium Structure built with the Amvic insulated concrete forms (ICF) wall system will not lose its structural integrity. Walls and floors remain straight and all creaking and squeaking noises are eliminated. Amvic ICFs are constructed with reinforced concrete, which tremendously increases strength and maximizes resistance to high winds and storms. The structure is wind rated for 200 mph, versus 100 mph for a traditional structure. Since concrete actually gains strength as it cures, A Premium Structure gets stronger as traditional structures weaken over time.

Since there is no food value for insects in the an Amvic ICF wall, the possibility of structural damage due to insects like termites and carpenter ants is entirely eliminated. Also, insects cannot penetrate the concrete core of an Amvic ICF wall and therefore cannot enter your home. Amvic ICF walls, enhanced by Minnkota Windows and high efficiency doors make A Premium Structure extremely strong and airtight.
