“Rising Popularity of Disaster-Resilient Construction”
- Growing concerns over natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes are leading to higher demand for resilient construction materials
- ICFs offer superior strength and impact resistance, making them ideal for disaster-prone regions and helping minimize property damage
- Governments and municipal authorities are incorporating disaster-resilient construction codes that increasingly recommend or mandate the use of materials such as ICFs
- Real estate developers are promoting ICF-based housing as a premium, safety-oriented offering for families in vulnerable areas
- Insurance companies are beginning to offer incentives, such as premium discounts, for properties built using ICFs due to their proven durability
- For instance, in hurricane-prone areas of Florida, several housing communities have adopted ICF construction to reduce rebuilding costs after storms
