Insulated Concrete Walls

Introducing the Comfort Wall System™ from Western Forms. You now have an insulation option that installs quickly and easily, from the leader in poured wall technology. Plus, it offers your homeowners an energy-efficient foundation designed for comfort, savings, and longevity whether it’s battling freezing winds or soaring temperatures.

With the Comfort Wall System you get superior insulation with less time, effort, and cost than traditional insulated concrete forms (ICF), wood framing, and other insulated concrete wall (ICW) systems. Finishing materials attach directly to the comfort wall system, eliminating the additional time needed to prepare the walls for drywall finish attachment.

Just 2” of EPS Foam can increase your energy R-value from the 2.5 (concrete alone) to 11.5. Choose to place the foam on both sides of the concrete and see it jump to an R-value of 20.5. Higher R-values translate into higher energy savings. Sell the lower energy bills and increased comfort!

The Comfort Wall System owes its success to layers. Each wall consists of at least four sections:

• Concrete
• Comfort Wall System Extrusions (Corners/T-Studs)
• Foam Insulation
• Drywall (or other finishing material)

To increase energy ratings, walls can be poured with insulation on both sides, adding a total of three more layers to the wall.

Each layer contributes to providing your home with continuous insulation. Cast-in-place concrete creates an unmarred wall without gaps or drafts and offers additional fire protection. The firm placement of insulation with the Comfort Wall System extrusions inhibit mold growth and remove the source of food for insects and other pests. The finishing material is attached directly to the extrusions - no additional wood furring required - for a flat appearance and easy installation.

Instead of using Styrofoam® blocks, he turned to a new method from Western Forms called the Comfort Wall System™. Project Details
