Why R-value is not accurate in comparing wall systems;

In this video, we're continuing the conversation we started 2 weeks ago - again high-lighting the benefits of using ICF over traditional wood framing.

Thanks for watching - stay tuned for the next batch of tutorials and tips, focusing on ICF building practices, tips, tricks and all the rest.

And If there's anything you'd like me to explain further, or cover in another video - please leave me a comment below and I'll get back to you.
