We spend more time in our homes than we do any other single place.
While most of us will gladly spend thousands more on a vehicle that delivers greater comfort, rarely do we consider how the same concept could apply to our home. Our clients rave about how comfortable their home is; and want you to know: your home can be a LOT better!
At one time or another, you have probably experienced rooms too hot or too cold, too dry or too damp. You may even have the unpleasant experience of dry air, itchy skin, and static in the winter months; or damp, musty, clammy, stagnant basements. Have you ever felt a chill near a large window? Worst of all is when you avoid hosting a gathering or choose not to read a book in your favorite chair because it's too close to the cold wall.
Did you know that all of these frustrations (and more) are caused by inferior building methods and materials? R-Value Homes has a solution to these age-old problems with a modern twist on an ancient material: Insulating Concrete Forms. ICF’s are the cornerstone of an entire building system designed for comfort. Our thoughtful combination of materials, methods, and technologies delivers comfort in three main ways:
A comfortable home is a useful home. When every room in the home is equally comfortable, then all of the home can be used. Your basement is no longer suitable only for storage and mechanicals; it is great for bedrooms, a family room, a home theatre, a workout room, a gun vault, and more.
Your home feels larger when there are no cold rooms in January, or stifling hot rooms in July. In other words: you can enjoy any and every room without having to change your clothes!
Did you know that your body radiates heat to the coldest surface in a direct line of sight? Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) is a bit nerdy to talk about, but when all the surfaces in a room are the same temperature, you experience comfort no matter where you are. MRT may be the most important element of a comfortable home.
While comfort may be difficult to define, it is easy to enjoy; as our happy clients testify.
