 Alternative Construction Methods

We know how personal building your home is.  Often, traditional building methods are not what a homeowner desires.  Asbury Homes will work with you to find the techniques and materials to fit your needs.  Mark Asbury has experience working with construction methods that can offer an alternative to the traditional 'stick built' home. 

 

Structural Insulated Panels
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are composed of a continuous core of rigid foam insulation laminated between two layers of structural board to form a single, solid panel.  These panels provide builders and homeowners with energy efficiency, superior structural integrity, and an easy to install building system.  SIPs are easy to work with and versatile for exterior walls, foundations, roofs, floors and additionsThe result is a simple, fast, highly efficient structural system which provides superior thermal performance and substantially greater strength than conventional stud construction. 

 

Insulating Concrete Forms
Commonly called ICFs, these interlocking, lightweight, polystyrene blocks are filled with reinforced concrete to form a wall with the insulation built right on.  ICFs provides superior energy efficiency when compared to a traditional foundation.  Construction is fast with little waste.  Integrated tacking strips provide a means of attaching sheetrock directly allowing for finished basements without additional framing or insulation steps.
