As 2011 wraps up, and we are all thinking of how fast this last year has gone, I wanted to recap the top 5 blog posts of 2011. These blog posts had the most views and click through and have proven to be the most popular throughout the year.
Our search tool above has proven to be very useful for our readers in finding topics, projects and regional issues specific to the reader. If you ever want a topic/project covered or think there is something that everyone should know about insulating concrete forms, green building, premium envelopes etc feel free to contact me (Troy) directly by calling 800-468-6344. On to the list!
Flooring Options with ICFs Series
We reviewed different types of flooring, builders use in conjunction with ICFs, and listed the pros and cons of each one.
The Truth on Energy Efficiency and R-Value
This post has pulled its weight through the years, as it was one of the first posts I wrote when the blog started in 2009. Leads me to believe R-value is still misunderstood and companies that post misleading numbers are not helping the matter.
Getting Educated on ICF Building Science
Reward has made an effort throughout the years on consciously educating industry professionals on the SCIENCE behind why ICFs work. This post outlines the key courses we now offer, that are beyond the basic “using ICFs for commercial/residential/schools blah blah blah”. These educational presentations have exclusive information, some of it one of a kind in the industry. By this post being on this list (and the shear number of training presentations we do), its apparent AEC professionals are yearning for this type of information.
Insulated Concrete Form Wall Estimator
This post rolled out our new all-inclusive estimating program. We brag about it because WE wrote it with OUR 30+ years of insulating concrete form expertise and the info you get is thorough enough to confidently bid all components of an ICF job.
Concrete Placement Heights
One of the most common questions on ICFs and pouring concrete I the placement heights. Some people play it ultra-conservative, some go more “aggressively, however we go on record with our recommendations and go over what the ACI says as well about free falling concrete in regards to quality and compressive strength.
There you have it, and to cap it off the most recent popular post not on this list is the post on why
ICFs are Zombie proof
