Featured Project

Shaftsbury

The Shaftsbury project is located in the busy metropolis of Toronto and is less than 200 ft from a major railway line.   Superior sound suppression was a major consideration when selecting ARXX ICFs for this project. There is a city bylaw that requires a minimum STC of 70. Building with ARXX ICF allowed the owners to actually exceed the minimum code requirement, ultimately achieving an STC rating of 71.
