When the developer and owner of the Flor de Sol luxury gated condo complex explains why he chose ARXX ICFs for the project, his answer is simple: ""It was time for a change"".  All 14 luxury units, 3600 sq. ft in size, were completed in only 15 months thanks to the speed of construction provided by building with ARXX ICFs.  Among his reasons for choosing ARXX ICFs were energy savings, 2-4 hour fire resistance rating, high wind resistance and comfort.  Flor de Sol features vaulted ceilings throughout, Southwestern tile roofing, and for added safety, an ARXX ICF demising/common wall between each unit.  The demising wall was a major contributor to meeting the STC code requirement on this project.  The owner was quoted as saying "Even when loud construction machinery was running, you couldn't hear it from one unit to the next." 

Salina Kansas is in the middle of a tornado belt and having the superior wall strength that come with ARXX ICFs provides residents with the peace of mind you can't put a price tag on.
