Introduction
Thinking about building a new home or basement foundation in Edmonton Alberta? Your foundation choice matters more than you think. A poorly insulated or moisture-prone foundation can lead to high energy bills, uncomfortable living spaces, and costly repairs. That’s why more builders and homeowners are turning to ICF Foundations – and Logix Element ICF stands out as one of the best solutions on the market. Here’s why its truly a foundation for life.
- Logix Element ICF creates monolithic reinforced concrete walls that resist wind, fire, and seismic forces.
- Rated for up to 300 mph winds, with 4-hour fire ratings and engineered for seismic safety.
- Continuous insulation provides effective wall R-value up to R‑23, without thermal bridging.
- Airtight construction translates to lower energy usage, quieter interiors, and improved thermal comfort.
- Element ICF combines up to six construction steps into one, eliminating the need for sub-trades or rental equipment.
- Lighter, easier to stack than CMUs or conventional forming. Installers only need basic hand tools and standard ICF bracing.
- Builders benefit from reduced labor costs and faster turnaround time.
- Homeowners enjoy comfortable, dry, livable basements—even in Alberta winters. ICF basements feel like main-level living space.
- Low VOC, mold-resistant foam and sealed construction reduce allergens and moisture intrusion.
- Element ICF shares same properties with Logix ICF, is compliant with NFPA 285, and supports alternate cladding and water-resistive barrier assemblies.
- Anticipates evolving energy codes in Canada/USA.
