The combination of construction technologies known as insulating concrete forms (ICF), and infloor radiant heat are an unbeatable team. Together these products create an advanced building system.

The Walls
Insulating concrete forms (ICF) are hollow "blocks" or "panels" made of high insulated polystyrene. They are stacked like building blocks to form the walls of the structure. Reinforcing steel is added and concrete is poured into their hollow cavity. Together these well-known construction materials create a wall system that offers superior insulation and solid construction .

The Floors
Imagine warm floors on a cold winter morning. Infloor radiant heat transfers warmth from the floor directly to your body in addition to heating the air around you. The result is a more comfortable, cost-effective, energy-efficient heating system. Warm water circulates through space age durable plastic tubing safely embedded in concrete - distributing even warmth throughout your home. In addition to warmth, concrete floors gives you wider, more open spaces than ever before. Together, infloor radiant heat and concrete floors provide even temperatures, a healthier living environment, quiet floors and overall comfort.

Silence
Annoying neighborhood noises like fire trucks, barking dogs and early morning lawn mowers will be reduced to a whisper.

Solid ICF Concrete Construction means that Passion Homes is sound proof, resistant to storms, high winds and other severe weather conditions. Just imagine your family sleeping peacefully through the noisiest of thunderstorms.

Clean Air
Due to our diverse northern climate with long winters and hot, muggy summers,
Canadians spend a lot of time indoors. Natural and man-made pollutants effect the quality of the indoor air that we breathe. Some well-known offenders include mould and mildew in traditional wall systems and poorly filtered forced air heating systems that circulate dust in the home.

Passion Homes is designed with a proper air filtration and fresh air exchange system, radiant in-floor heating and superior insulated walls. Heating and cooling bills will be half of what you'd expect. Drafts will be virtually eliminated and carbon dioxide emissions from your heating unit will be greatly reduced.
