NUDURA walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and fire retardant-treated expanded polystyrene foam. Compared to wood-framed walls, NUDURA walls are far more likely to remain standing in case of a fire, and are far more resistant to the spread of fire. | |

NUDURA’s double foam insulated concrete core acts as an effective sound barrier, dampening sound vibrations and ensuring a serene and comfortable ambience within the home. | |

Due to NUDURA’s design, NUDURA’s walls have up to 9 times more axial load resistance than a typical wood-framed wall. NUDURA technology offers enhanced protection for your home, especially in high-wind areas, and during tornadoes and hurricanes. | |

NUDURA is a highly insulated concrete wall, with no air spaces or studs, that vastly reduces air
filtration. When combined with an air exchange system, NUDURA technology helps even out the effect of external temperature swings and provides superior energy-efficiency as compared to typical wood-framed homes. | |

Outside cold can easily travel through a typical wood-framed wall (thermal bridging) to create
uncomfortable cold spots inside your home. NUDURA walls offer superior performance when it comes to thermal bridging and air infiltration. Therefore you can get even temperatures throughout your home and reduced drafts, cold spots, dampness and mustiness. | |

NUDURA’a accurately interlocking, lightweight forms makes it very adaptable to a variety of innovative and efficient designs. NUDURA’s concrete core allows for the easy installation of doors and windows without comprimising the structure of your home while curved, sloped and extra tall walls are easily built with NUDURA technology. | |
| NOTE:
The performance claims referred to in this web site are based on a comparison between a typical 8' high Nudura wall with a 6" core, properly built to the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) and installed in accordance with NUDURA's specifications and a typical 8' high 2" x 6" wood-framed wall insulated with R20 batt insulation, properly built to NBC and with regard to "fire resistance" on ratings listed in the NBC, with regard to "sound resistance" on ratings listed in the NBC and in the study "Insulating Concrete Forms" by VanderWerf, Feige, Chammas and Lemay, with regard to "durable" and "comfort" on an independent analysis and with regards to "energy efficiency" in the study "Energy Consumption of Concrete Homes Versus wood Fram Homes" published by Dr. Pieter VanderWerf for the Portland Cement Association. Such performance claims may vary depending on certain atmospheric conditions and geographical locations. |
