SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD ASK FOR CONCRETE WALLS TO WEATHER ANY STORM (MS) -- Severe hurricanes, tornados and destructive derechos in the United States are motivating the construction industry to use far more durable materials and methods for houses in particular. Already there is the option to replace standard wood framing with an interlocking system using pre-assembled, ‘insulated concrete forms.’

“Occupant safety is one good reason to build a stronger, more fire-resistant home -- and significant energy savings is another,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in the supply of insulated concrete forms (ICFs). “More and more buildings in North America, including private homes, are opting for concrete. As demonstrated year after year, the impact resistance of ICF buildings protects it from storm winds up to 250 miles

per hour. It is also more structurally sound during floods -- and the fire resistance is up to 4 hours. With a solid, reinforced concrete envelope, your energy bills can be reduced by up to 70 percent.

“Our Nudura forms interlock, like Lego, to create one monolithic wall with a thickness from 4 to 12 inches,” Blyth continued. “By combining two panels of thick (EPS) foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete, the walls can provide an efficiency rating as high as R-50, compared to an average R-20 in wood structures. You get a far stronger, lower-cost home with a warm and inviting indoor atmosphere.”

On the outside, the concrete structure can be finished with smart-looking brick, or even more creatively with stone, stucco, wood,

or vinyl siding. And inside, says Blyth, the aesthetics accommodate all the dream features as well. Innovative architectural shapes -- such as arches, bay windows, and specific door styles -- are easily achieved to meet the desired interior design.

Occupant benefits Concrete is strong -- and it is also occupantfriendly. In a standard wood-framed home, the outside cold easily travels through the walls, causing thermal bridging and creating uncomfortable chilly spots in various rooms.

Alternatively, walls built with a solid concrete core address and prevent thermal bridging to deliver even temperatures throughout the house.

“The interior atmosphere is comfortable

and quiet,” Blyth continued. “Reinforced concrete is an effective sound barrier. It dampens vibrations from outside noise, such as traffic, trains and neighborhood parties.

Sound-proofing is a true bonus of the ICF building system -- and so is the investment value of the home. It is generally expected that a stronger, safer, greener home, and one that is more durable, more cost efficient, and needs less maintenance and repair, will steadily increase in resale value.”

Be aware, he adds, that the request to build your walls with concrete must be made early in the planning stage. More information is available online at www.nudura.com.

Pros and cons of automatic irrigation systems Water is essential to keeping a lawn or garden in good health. The trouble with watering is that it can be time-consuming, especially if your idea of watering is standing outside with the hose.

But thanks to irrigation systems, watering has become a lot less hands-on.

An irrigation sprinkler or drip system takes much of the work out of watering a landscape.

Some can also be fitted to deliver fertilizer and weed-prevention products to a lawn. But before any digging takes place, homeowners might want to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of irrigation systems.

Advantages One of the most obvious advantages is the time savings afforded by an automatic sprinkler or drip irrigation system. Once installed, many systems can be set to a timer to water at specific time intervals and on certain days of the week.

This means there’s no need to worry about forgetting to water the lawn and coming back from vacation to find crisp, yellow grass.

Another advantage is that irrigation systems, particularly the drip type, can be positioned so that water is more effectively targeted where it is needed. Nozzles can be adjusted and underground drip tubes will deliver water right to the roots, rather than spraying walkways and driveways.

Another advantage is that automatic irrigation systems are generally hidden from view, which means there are no unsightly hoses stretched across the lawn and no more tripping hazards.

Sprinkler heads pop up to spray and then retract when the job is done. Underground drip systems do their work out of view. For families with young children and pets who share outdoor spaces, automatic systems may be a safer option.

Disadvantages The primary disadvantage associated with a sprinkler system is the expense. These systems can be quite costly depending on the size of the property. Furthermore, portions of the lawn will have to be dug up to install pipework and attach

it to the plumbing system of the home. This can equate to days or weeks without use of the yard.

Afterwards, the landscaping will have to be repaired.

It is best to install an irrigation system prior to the installation of sod or extensive landscaping because some of it will have to be torn up.

Homeowners who already have pristine yards may be turned off by this reality.

Even the most efficient sprinkler systems can have their pitfalls. Wind can wreak havoc on sprinklers, directing water in the wrong direction.

Underground pests may damage water-delivery systems, resulting in water pooling or broken parts. The repairs to fix an irrigation system can be much more costly than replacing a damaged garden hose.

Irrigation systems have their advantages and disadvantages, and homeowners should weigh their options before installing a new system.

20 Friday, July 12, 2013 | Cowichan Valley Citizen Responsible building decisions deserve benefits, too Beauty, spaciousness, interior design -- and every other eye-pleasing esthetic -- are important when building a personal dream home. Today, however, with the reality of energy and environmental concerns, homeowners also insist that the place where they will be living for years on end must be as eco-responsible as possible.

As it turns out, many decisions that are initially based on responsibility can deliver unexpected esthetic results, too.

“Sometimes the least glamorous decisions can be the ones that give your lifestyle far more quality and value--and a good case in point is the use of concrete to build the walls, instead of traditional wood-framing,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in this field. “Our Canadian technology has advanced the development of the ‘insulated concrete form,’ a system that that interlocks to erect a building, like Lego.

For the occupants, the benefits of improved comfort, energy efficiency, safety and interior air quality are delivered immediately with ICF construction -- and for

Comfort: Outside cold easily travels through woodframed walls, causing thermal bridging and creating uncomfortable chilly spots inside your home. Walls with a solid concrete core address and prevent thermal bridging, delivering even temperatures throughout the house.

the homeowner-investor, all those benefits assure top resale value later on.”

In addition, Blyth points out, an ICF structure can be finished on the exterior just like traditional wood frame structures. Stone, stucco, brick or whatever is envisioned can be done with the insulated concrete forms.

Building the walls with concrete is an option that needs to be decided early in the planning, he says. The method discards wood framing in favour of pre-assembled, interlocking concrete forms filled with concrete. Take a look at a few more of the head-turning benefits of concrete: Fuel Savings: Premium insulation is essential with energy costs on the rise. Solid concrete walls vastly reduce air infiltration (compared to wood walls), optimizing energy performance and reducing carbon footprints. The R-value (insulation effectiveness) comes in at R-50 and can save you to 70 percent on energy bills.

Quiet: Solid concrete is an effective sound barrier. It dampens sound vibrations from outside noise, such as traffic, trains and neighbourhood parties. Sound-proofing is an addition to home comfort.

Safety: The fire protection rating is up to four hours. If high wind in your community is a concern, data shows that Nudura homes (nudura.com) demonstrate impact resistance up to 402 kph, or 250 mph.

Improved Value: It is generally expected that a stronger, safer, greener home, and one that is more durable, more cost efficient, and needs less maintenance and repair, will build and hold its value.

Choose The Greenest Builder Available As building codes enforce tightened minimum standards for eco-responsibility, the more progressive builders are illustrating their own accountability by using and producing materials that are even more efficient than mandated.

So if you are currently designing, planning or simply getting ready to buy a new home, it is likely that your investment will represent and deliver greater environmental conservation, lower occupant costs, and a far improved property value.

Building code revisions worldwide are ushering in a whole new generation of structures that are as much as 35 to 40 percent more environmentally responsible.

would initially lower your energy bills. You would get to live in a stronger, more comfortable home, while the investment grows in the re-sale value. As importantly, with far lower demand by your house on natural resources, you get to make an important contribution to the environment every day.”

Canadian technology is also blazing this trail. The Nudura system of ICFs is highly regarded internationally due to its ability to deliver both energy efficiency and occupant comfort. As a result, this advanced system for building concrete walls is in high demand, especially across the United States and Canada.

Walls lock together

At one glimpse, the improved practises in construction are showcasing advancements in wall building, windows, insulation, and air-infiltration.

“Switching from wood-framing to concrete walls, for example, has so many spinoff benefits,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, the manufacturers of an advanced building method called the insulated concrete form (ICF). “Solid, air-tight concrete walls

Designed like Lego, the pre-assembled, interlocking Nudura forms (nudura.com) are designed with monolithic concrete sandwiched between two continuous layers of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

“The foam material isolates the concrete and significantly reduces the flow of heat through the wall,” Blyth explained.

Greg Kothlow

“It stabilizes the internal temperature from day to night fluctuations and provides a largely self-regulating environment.

This faster method of construction creates one solid concrete wall.”

As a result, Blyth says, you will need less energy for mechanical heating and cooling, delivering cost savings throughout the year. A home built with this concrete system stands to be stronger, provides greater safety, offers greater sound resistance, fire resistance -- and would be far less prone to mould, cold spots and drafts.

“Benefits are plentiful to builders, too,” Blyth continued. “The forms are compact, requiring smaller shipping space and manpower than other methods, and the process meets and even exceeds building code requirements.”

If you want your builder to use insulated concrete forms, be sure to make the request well before construction gets underway, he said.
