ENERGY EFFICIENT ICF (CONCRETE) HOME STRATHROY
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BUILDER......
National Award Winning Builder!
Owned and operated by husband and wife team, Nick and Nancy Strik. We have been building quality homes for 22years in the London & surrounding area. We are an Energy Star registered builder and offer our customers ICF (concrete) homes along with conventional wood frame construction. With energy costs rising daily our company knows the important of energy cost efficient homes and how important it is for our customers.
After just completing our first LEED registered home on Wonderland road in London for Tom & Maria Prohaszka our company has the knowledge to build GREEN! This home won us the SAM AWARDS for building GREEN for all across Canada and reached GOLD with LEED.
Now when a customer comes to us we take the time to show the importance of building a energy efficient home and show the benefits of building GREEN can be. The LEED home used ICF from footing to truss, 18 Solar panels on the roof, life time steel roof, Hambro Floor System, Radiant In Floor Heating on both levels, No VOC's paint, all hard surface flooring, Solatube (solar) bathroom day lighting, HRV heat recovery unit, Low-flow toilets & show heads, Geothermal ground source, North Star EnergyStar windows and many more to meet our LEED requirements.
Building with ICF alone can give you the benefits of energy savings from 40% up to 70%, no Thermal bridging, reduces Green House gases, saves Environmental Resources, Life time value, with stands winds up to 250mph & 115mph debris impact, 4 hour fire protection, solid concrete core, does not produce MOLD growth, sound resistance and a healthier life style for the homeowner. Using this form of construction is only 4 - 5 % more that conventional wood framed construction.
With ICF we can show you that completing a basement conventional and ICF is only a few thousand more. In turn ICF completed basement controls the 30% heat loss in a normal basement, no dampness, moisture or molds to grow. Add radiant in floor heat and now your basement no longer feels like a basement and is the cheapest living space you can gain in your home.
Open is our new ICF model home in Huron Crest subdivision on Lake Huron near Sarnia Ontario. This model is constructed with ICF from footing to truss and radiant In Floor heating. This concept is the only way to construct a home that has the weather conditions off the lake year round. With the extra R value it will give energy savings in the heating and cooling seasons.Our heating bill for this model home for the month of December 2009, without the In Floor heating running in the basement was $74.21 (In Floor now up and running will make a big difference again).
