Less Energy, Greater Comfort
Welcome to Eastern Ontario ICF. Although our company has been in business for over twenty years, our current name reflects our recognition of, and focus on, the need for energy efficient construction. It is the responsibility of anyone building a new home to ensure that this new home has as little impact on our environment as possible. Building your new home with insulated concrete forms is the first, and biggest, step in the right direction.

| Although finding more environmentally friendly ways of producing energy is also very important, efforts to reduce the amount of energy we consume in the first place will be significantly more fruitful. There is currently no other construction method that will reduce the amount of energy required to heat a home or building as much as building with ICFs. Aside from this financial benefit, there are also many immeasurable advantages including: a healthier indoor environment, increased comfort, increased fire safety, reduced sound transmission, more environmentally friendly. |

| Insulated Concrete Forms are the intelligent and responsible choice. With ICFs a monolithic building envelope can be achieved. This means that your home is not subject to cold, moist air penetrations or the effects of insulation sag. Your home is also wrapped in 2 layers of foam insulation, creating the most comfortable indoor environment available, with the least amount of temperature fluctuations. With ICF construction, you can expect a reduction of up to 50% or more on your heating bills.
When using the term ICF, most commonly it refers to walls. Eastern Ontario ICF, however, offers a unique product that among other things is also an Insulated Concrete Form. The application, however, is for your floor.
Legalett is a unique technology that combines radiant floor heating (air-based) into a frost-protected shallow foundation. With multiple advantages and benefits, this system is the number one choice when considering slab-on grade construction, or faced with poor soil conditions. Legalett is engineered specific to each project, is versatile in design, and can be connected to virtually any heat source. A Legalett heated structural slab saves you time and money during construction and provides a more comfortable and economic form of heating.
