PermaForm
The majority of the foundations built using PermaForm technology have eight foot walls or four foot frost walls. PermaForm consists of 1 1/2 inches of foam on each side of eight inches of concrete. Code requires basement interior walls to be finished therefore the basement can be finished without framing walls as is conventionally done on block foundations. Mel Prime and Mel Roll is used to seal the exterior of the foundation.
Nudura Forms
NUDURA is the new generation of ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technology. NUDURA's double insulation protection is a high-performance expanded polystyrene building form made for erecting concrete walls. Nudura's innovative hinged webs ensure safe, damage-free delivery. NUDURA forms also have accurate interlocking appendages for easy and quick assembly, and are structurally strong to withstand the weight and fluid pressure of the concrete poured inside.

Double Insulation Protection 
The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene combined with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete makes NUDURA walls stronger, safer, more comfortable and more energy efficient than typical residential walls. In various tests, NUDURA walls have met and in many cases exceeded statutory building codes.
Block
8" X 16" X 10" block is used on block foundations. Durawall is installed for support. Rebar is also installed every four feet and in corners for added strength.
