RokSolid Construction

Granny Flats

Roksolid Granny flats are just that, Roksolid – Built to last, you are making a secure investment on your build.  Unlike modular structures ours isn’t prefabricated factory made, yet prompt construction is still assured, averaging a 5 week build time.

Ideal for the home, developer, commercial and healthcare Roksolid’s ICF solutions provide a superior structure with a reduced build time. Advancements in everyday technology are spreading into the building industry consequently savvy builders, investors and architects demand a higher spec build and performance criteria. Roksolid ICF ticks all the boxes.  Compared to conventional building methods, there is no comparison.

Roksolid High Performance Granny Flat Structures  -Built with ICF

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Roksolid ICF structures greatly reduce air infiltration, which greatly optimizes energy performance. Roksolid Forms combined with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete can provide R-Values as high as R-50, saving building owners up to 80% in energy costs, which in turn be a greater return on your investment.

FIRE RESITANCE
Roksolid ICF structures offer maximum safety with a fire protection rating of up to 4 hours. With Roksolid ICF structure walls are built with steel reinforced concrete and the forms have a non toxic fire retardant expanded polystyrene foam ensuring maximum safety.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Roksolid ICF Structures act as an effective sound barrier, filtering out unwanted noise, dampening sound vibrations from unwanted outside noise creating comfortable working or living spaces for occupants. NUDURA icf structures create the ultimate in building comfort.

STRENGTH
Roksolid ICF Structures provide greater impact resistance and will withstand winds of up to 250 mph ensuring building occupants are safe and secure in almost any situation. The strength of the Roksolid wall comes from the solid concrete core so your building is more efficient and safe.

ICF Structures are ideal for use in a variety of structures, commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, health care and a variety of other building types. Roksolid ICF Structures have been built up to 15 storey’s in height, making them ideal for hotels and condominiums (Disney has just used ICF for its latest hotel)
