The Aspire Trade School in North Carolina chose to reflect its innovative educational approach in the very walls of its campus through selecting modern and sustainable building materials. Aspire combined Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms, Prebuck bucking materials, air barriers from Tremco Sealants, and Dryvits exterior finishes to achieve a high- performance school with superior safety, energy efficiency and cost savings.
By providing a robust framework for door and window openings, Prebuck enhanced the durability and overall structural integrity of the building. Prebuck combined with ICFs streamlined the installation process, which reduced delays and ensured the project remained on schedule and within budget. The seamless integration of Prebuck materials with Tremco Sealants Air Barriers and Nudura ICFs prevents gaps or weak points in the building envelope for maximum energy efficiency for life of the structure.
