The Wellness Community of SW Florida Goes Vertical!

Posted by Carbon Design on Thu, Dec 17, 2009

Find me on:

After years of design, development, and fundraising the The Wellness Community's Building Hope Project has started going UP. The exterior walls are made of a product called ICF or Insulated Concrete Forms. The Foam blocks go together like Legos and are then filled with concrete and steel rebar. This wall system provides at least an R-Value of 30, over 40% higher than code requires. Other inovative features inlcude SIP roof panels and reclaimed river logs are being installed for columns.
