As the UK faces a shortage of affordable housing, it is important to that local authorities and developments provide solutions through the likes of affordable housing schemes. Time is of the essence to provide these solutions which is where Nudura, the NHBC accepted, industry leading ICF brand can be of advantage to meet tight deadlines.
The traditional built house takes 30 weeks on average to build from substructure to completion whereas a Nudura ICF house can be completed in only 19 weeks. This condensed timeline is achieved through simplicity of wall installation using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS).
Nudura Solid Insulated Wall Structures lock together, with patented Duralock technology, to build walls far quicker than timber frame or traditional brick. When the system is interlocked and in-filled with concrete, it creates a solid monolithic, permanently insulated wall, which also give low air permeability. The simplicity of the system means that construction is quick and does not require skilled labour, such as bricklayers.
While the substructure and fit-out time remain the same, for a standard dwelling, a Nudura structure can be built in approximately 10 to 14 days – including the first floor. Based on these figures, 1.7 standard homes can be built in the same 52-week time frame compared to 2.7 Nudura ICF homes. Thus, doubling the amount of affordable homes that can be built with Nudura ICF to meet the UK Government’s 20,000 a year target.
