The
cost competitive IMF Wall System is superior to ICF, Precast and Tilt-up, and offers easy, speedy assembly. |
“In the design of the Camosse Masonry Supply store in Charlton, Massachusetts, we wanted to use a masonry wall system that would provide us with an alternative to Insulating Concrete Forms, while at the same time allow us to take advantage of design credits offered by the IMF® Wall System.”
“The LEED criteria (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design—Green Building Rating System) was used in the design of this project.”
