Building with light gauge, cold formed steel beams like throughSPAN allow you to run utilities straight through your beams! Conserve space, use fewer supports, and build green with Metwood!
You've decided to build an ICF home, and if you've found our website you are either a builder or a homeowner looking for better construction solutions - more green, more cost effective, more efficient.
Many ICF homes go to great lengths to be energy and space efficient, but floors are often neglected. Many such homes are built without concrete floors due to several problems (that we've eliminated) - including the inability to pour your insulated concrete forms and your floor the same day, and the need for stronger spans and supports.
Our floorSPAN system can accomodate much longer spans and fewer vertical supports than conventional flooring systems, AND you can pour it the same day as your ICFs. No more waiting for the floor to set. Concrete is also the ideal material for installing Radiant Floor Heating systems, a must for any truly energy efficient ICF home.
What's even better? Our cold forged steel beams use 60% recycled material, can be cut with the same tools that cut wood beams onsite, don't require welding, and you can even run your utilities straight through our throughSPAN system! The end result is responsible, green construction, energy efficient floors, and significantly more useable space.
