The Barker residence was built with ICF blocks, which deaden sound and vibrations from local truck traffic.
Barker residence |
Location: Bellingham
|
The owners of this two-story ICF home say its sound-deadening qualities are impressive. It is located across the street from a large gravel processing and concrete plant with constant truck traffic. They say the concrete absorbs noise and vibration from the trucks while the neighbors, in their wood-frame houses, regularly complain about the noise and rumbling. The house also has other concrete elements, such as countertops and floors that are stained, stamped and sawcut.
