Build Better ICF Basements & ICF Foundations
Build Better ICF Basements & ICF Foundations
There is a reason that Logix Insulated Concrete Forms are preferred by builders across North America. Our products are designed to create a better insulated and more comfortable basement for you to enjoy.
Most regular basements are used just for storage. Your home deserves more than wasted space and a drag on your finances. By building a Logix XtraComfort basement, your basement will feel just as comfortable as any main floor and will be built for LIVING! Choosing Logix will also help to significantly lower your energy bills. In fact, a Logix XtraComfort Basement is the smartest home upgrade you can choose!

The Economics of XtraComfort Logix ICF Basements
A typical XtraComfort Logix ICF basement will generally cost about the same or possibly somewhat less than a comparable conventionally poured basement finished with 2×6 framing and full R-20 batt insulation.
To receive your occupancy permit you will have to cover your Logix ICF basement walls with a thermal barrier which is usually drywall. However you can simply screw the drywall to the ICF walls. You do not have to tape and mud the joints nor do you have to install any wiring into the walls at that time if you do not wish to.
For this comparable cost, unlike regular basements, an XtraComfort Logix ICF basement will feel as comfortable as another main level of the home. Plus, a Logix steel reinforced 6.25″ concrete wall is stronger and more crack-resistant than a typical 8″ concrete wall built without steel reinforcement.
