What makes LOGIX a "high impact" green product?

Green building includes a combination of building products and fixtures that are considered to be either “low impact”, providing a single green benefit, such as low flush toilets, to “high impact” green products with multiple benefits such as LOGIX Insulated Concrete Forms.

• LOGIX optimizes energy performance in the home. The combination of the LOGIX continuous foam insulation and the thermal mass properties of insulated concrete provide a high thermal resistance wall system that reduces the peak heating and cooling loads on the building. This thermal envelope produces an airtight structure and reduces air leakage and energy use.

• LOGIX homes are airtight structures. This makes airflow and ventilation easier to control and monitor. The end result is a healthier, comfortable environment for occupants, and a reduction in HVAC capacity.

• LOGIX walls are mold resistant. With the protected layer of LOGIX ICF foam panels, a LOGIX wall system will not promote the growth of mold or mildew.

• LOGIX walls are durable. Concrete walls are one of the most durable building materials available and are designed to last for centuries. LOGIX walls are stronger than conventional wood-framed constructed walls and are able to withstand the damaging effects of strong winds.

• LOGIX uses recycled materials. LOGIX foam panels are made from up to 10% recycled EPS. LOGIX webs are made of 100% recycled polypropylene.

• LOGIX produces minimal on-site waste. Any on-site waste can be fully recycled.

• LOGIX has multiple manufacturing facilities. LOGIX has manufacturing facilities throughout North America and Europe. This reduces the need for the transportation/delivery of manufactured product to distant jobsite destinations. The concrete is obtained through local suppliers.
