And as the use of ICF's has grown in the area, so has the awareness that there are many different brands of ICF products currently being marketed in Central Oregon. After looking closely at the different brands, many construction professionals might be wondering what it is that sets Hooker Creek and Reward ICF apart from "the rest of the pack".

Now that we've covered the benefits of working with Hooker Creek, we'd like to spend some time speaking about the benefits of working with Reward ICF. Reward is the only Insulating Concrete Form manufacturer that makes reversible forms with no top or bottom. That means that the forms can be used virtually anywhere on the project and cut pieces can be used twice as much (as compared to other ICF brands) to fill joints in the wall. Their open symmetric web design at six inches on the center makes for a stronger form that creates uniform pressure and better flow of concrete, preventing bulges and waves in the walls. The reversible walls and unique web design greatly reduces waste, which in turn saves the contractor money and lessens the impact on the environment.
Building or developing a custom home or commercial project comes with a special set of challenges, including timely construction, manageable operating costs and occupancy safety. Reward ICFs tackle these challenges while providing an allergen-free, clean-air living environment that is comfortable and quiet. Construction is also quicker because you can complete four steps at once - exterior structure, insulation, vapor and barrier and furring. Hooker Creek and Reward ICF truly are a winning combination.
