How high can I build with NUDURA?

Typically in the past people have thought that ICF is only good for foundations, however this is a myth. The truth is if the structure is engineered, you can use NUDURA to build up as high as you please. Of course as the building gets taller, the thickness of the wall will increase. The reinforcing steel within the wall may get thicker or spaced closer, or you may simply have to use NUDURA as an infill or curtain wall with a post and beam structure. Our prescriptive data will take a residential project up 2 storeys before requiring engineering, but there are many projects on a commercial level that have gone up multiple storeys using the NUDURA ICF to form structural walls.
