Insulated Concrete
Forms (ICF)

Only PermaCrete's ICC-ES Compliant (ESR-1637) Exterior Wall Coating System has been installed on ICF residential and commercial structures for over ten years (Read the article published in 1994 by "Tennessee Concrete Magazine"). The acrylic polymer cement compound in PermaCrete's surface provides an exterior coating of much greater compressive and flexural strengths than other coatings in the marketplace today. This surface offers significant advantages over other products used to resurface building structures such as plaster, Dryvit, or reduced strength, synthetic stuccos. Those products usually contain little, if any, portland cement and are primarily low-strength, non-sealed cosmetic coatings which provide less protection from weather erosion and other frequent surface abuses such as staining, chipping or cracking.

Available in virtually any color, design or texture, PermaCrete simply provides the finest exterior surface available for ICF structures today!
