At Eastern Ontario ICF, we use superior products to ensure your project is built with the best possible quality.

Arxx ICF has been the leading selling ICF for over 14 years. The high performance wall systems provide low risk, building solutions that are of superior quality, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

The advantages of building with ARXX ICF are:

ENERGY AND CONSTRUCTION SAVINGS: ARXX has an effective rating of up to an R-50. This can save you up to 50% on your heating and cooling costs, and can save money on your insurance bill due to high fire ratings. There is also a dramatic labor reduction of up to half the time. When you build with ARXX, you are doing 5 steps in 1: insulating, vapor barrier, air barrier, studding and sheathing. This saves you labor, time, and money.

USER FRIENDLY: ARXX ICF form measurements are designed for easy use and speedy installation. An ideal crew has a mix of concrete placement and carpentry experience. Arxx forms have been developed with the other trades in mind and is more user friendly to the trades that interact with the wall system. ARXX forms fit easily and tightly together and do not float or shift during concrete placement. No on-site form assembly is required, saving time.

SUPERIOR STRUCTURE: Structures built with ARXX ICFs are up to 25% stronger than other concrete walls – due to slow curing of the concrete within the insulated panels – and up to four times stronger than wood. The high structural performance of ARXX ICF helps buildings withstand earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados.

SAFER: Along with the strengths to withstand hurricanes and theft, ARXX gives you 2-5 hour fire rating. ARXX contains no CFC's, HCFC's or Formaldehyde. It can truly be a "healthy" home or business.

SILENCE: ARXX carries an impressive STC rating of 50, which means outside noise is reduced to a whisper.

TRUST: ARXX means peace of mind. Your building is a safe and healthy home that will last the test of time. Just a few of the many tests performed are for: fire, fastener withdrawal from the web, impact and R-value along with numerous national reports. ARXX has been given awards by:

- Healthy Home,
- The American Lung Association
- Energy Star
- Green Build

A GREEN CHOICE: The energy efficiency of your ARXX home helps meet energy efficient standards, including ENERGY STAR (LOGO) and R-2000.

ARXX ICF BUILDINGS CONTRIBUTE TO GREEN BUILDING,  ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT AND CONTRIBUTE TO ENERGY SAVINGS THAT CAN BE AS MUCH AS 46% (verified by Energuide for New Homes) AND ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO LEED POINTS.

Legalett is a pioneer in Frost Protected Shallow Foundations with air based in-floor radiant heating. Legalett has quickly gained popularity in North America as one of the best most efficient ways to heat a building.

The advantages of building with Legalett Frost Protected Shallow Foundation / Radiant Floor heat are:

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY: The LEGALETT floor system is a unique ICF technology, combining engineered slab on grade technology and air based radiant floor heating, which can be connected to virtually any heat source. Legalett helps meet energy standards such as ENERGY STAR AND R-2000. The unique LEGALETT technology simultaneously eliminates the  need for footings and frost walls for slab on grade construction.

SIMPLE TO INSTALL: The LEGALETT system provides for a faster and more efficient site preparation due to the use of a flat gravel bed. The simple

installation of the LEGALETT components in the slab also increases installation efficiency. Permanent edging units, which eliminate traditional formwork,

allows a short construction time.

EVEN, COMFORTABLE AND HEALTHY INDOOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT: Due to the LEGALETT foundation’s heat-storage properties, an even stable indoor

climate is maintained even when there is a quick change in the weather. LEGALETT ensures warm and comfortable floors while meeting heating needs

(building transmission losses). The quality of building construction and air changes affect building heating requirements.  Modern construction practices

together with a Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system and integral in-duct pre-heater offer a very pleasant indoor climate with the LEGALETT system.

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS: The closed loop pipe system does not require  cleaning  or  maintenance. The air pipes do not have the leakage risks of a

water system. There is no limit to the lifetime of the pipe system. The fan and the heating unit are installed in the closed system with easy access.

This allows for ideal operating conditions during the lifespan of the heating unit. Should there be a need for servicing, the unit can be easily repaired or

replaced.

CONVENIENT FOR THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED: The low entry height of a slab on grade and the heated floor make the LEGALETT system very

convenient for the physically challenged as well as for small children and infants.

HEAT DURING POWER OUTAGES: The heat storage system is advantageous in the event of a power outage.  Due to the slab’s ability to store

energy, it can release its large store of heat over a long period of time.

CONSTRUCTION: As soon as concrete is poured, a Legalett Construction Heater is connected to the pipe heating system. This effectively dries out

the slab evenly, a process that can continue throughout the construction period. In addition to extending the construction season, this has

advantages for the entire building process. Painting and floor laying can be carried out at an earlier stage than with conventional construction methods.

(Traditional building heaters need not be used.)

LEGALETT IS A GREEN CHOICE: It helps meet energy efficient standards, including Energy Star, R-2000 and gives LEED points.
