Concrete Or Concrete Block Exterior Walls

Concrete block exterior walls are designed with walls of poured concrete, concrete block or ICF (insulated concrete forms). This style of home construction is ideal for areas that need to resist high winds. Other advantages of a concrete block exterior wall include its resistance to insect damage and fire, strength in hurricane conditions and energy efficiency. And, believe it or not, concrete block exterior walls hold up well in earthquake prone regions as well.
