FOX BLOCKS SERIES
Our core product line – this series of ICF products is the basis for a successful build. Used in just about any configuration you can imagine.
Product Highlights
Unlimited Design Detailing and Finishes
With blocks available in a number of shapes, sizes, and concrete core thicknesses, we can create any design you can dream up. Plus, our wall assembly works with all exterior/interior finishes you choose to use, be it EIFS, traditional stucco, brick, stone, fiber cement siding or drywall.
Unparalleled Comfort and Quiet
Our wall assembly provides indoor comfort and improves a building’s performance characteristics for the interior environment by eliminating moisture intrusion, managing the airflow and allowing for accurate climate control and minimizing sound mitigation.
Strength Against the Elements
Our ICF wall assembly meets and exceeds safety/resilience/durability requirements for Division 03 Concrete, Section 031119 ICF; Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) & FEMA-ATFP Federal Military and DoD Standards FEMA-ATFP.
Lifetime of Savings
The performance characteristics of our wall assembly can reduce a building’s heating and cooling cost dramatically (up to 50%) and puts Net Zero Energy goals within reach.
Straight Block
The Straight Block typically makes up between 80-85% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has six strong, full-length injection, molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Once a single layer or course of ICF blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks, then another course of Straight Blocks are placed firmly on top as the wall is built. To improve construction wall strength during installation, each course of blocks should have their end-joint connections staggered in a running bond method from the course adjacent to it. This installation method is typical for all Fox Blocks ICF form types and sizes. Fox Blocks has proven results for setting exceptional standards in cost control, planning, scheduling and project safety. We have experience that gives us a competitive advantage over others in our field.

Corner Block
The 90 Degree Corner Block typically makes up 15-20% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has six strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block. The corner block also has one patent pending corner bracket designed like no other in the ICF Industry. This 7/32″ thick x 1-1/2″ wide corner bracket was engineered to add more strength/support to the block because it connects the inner/outer modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam panels together and is designed to eliminate blow-outs during the concrete pour.

T Block
The T-Block (Short Leg) typically makes up 1-2% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has eight strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on all sides of the block. These ties secure the three pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the adjacent Straight Blocks. T-Blocks are typically used in walls where two walls intersect each other, an exterior wall to an interior wall. The T-Block is engineered/designed to minimize the amount of form bracing and eliminate blow-outs during the placement of the concrete.

Transition T Block
45 Degree Angle Block
The 45 Degree Angle Block typically makes up less than 5% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has five strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block. The 7/32″ thick x 1-1/2″ wide corner bracket was engineered to add more strength/support to the block by reinforcing the corner once the wall is built to eliminate blow-outs during the concrete pour. The bracket has a marketed exterior fastening surface that is very large on both sides of the block to secure exterior veneer finishes. The ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together at the corner locations and inter-locked end to end to the Straight Blocks to the desired wall length. Once a single layer or course of ICF blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks, then another course of blocks are placed firmly on top as the wall is built. To improve construction wall strength during installation, each course of blocks should have their end-joint connections staggered in a running bond method from the course adjacent to it.

Radius Block
The Radius Block is a specialty block used to build curved walls. These pre-molded blocks are 16″ long, allowing the designer the opportunity to build a curved wall section in any length needed. Available current radiuses are 5′, 6′, 7′, 8′, 9′, and 10′ only with a 6″ concrete core width. Ordering these radius blocks is a special order.

Taper Top Block
The Taper-Top Block typically makes up 1-2% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has six strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Taper-Top Blocks are typically used at the top of the wall where the width of the concrete core needs to be increased to support other adjacent lateral loads (i.e., exterior roof truss loads, interior floor joist loads, hollowcore, etc.). Once a single layer or course of Taper-Top Blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks.

Curb Block
There has always been a need for a block that can create a ledge to support floor systems within the wall without limiting course heights. The Fox Blocks team has solved this by adding an extra attachment point within the tie. This patent pending solution allows you to form a curb with the block to support whatever you need to support. Curb block uses: hollowcore, precast, dimensional wood floors, engineered wood floors, truss floors, brick, garage slabs, creating recesses, hambro floors, and pan deck.
Brick-Ledge Block
The Corbel Ledge Block typically makes up 1-2% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has six strong, full-length, injection molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that makes up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Corbel Ledge Blocks are typically used at the top of the wall to support other adjacent lateral loads (i.e., masonry veneer loads, floor joist loads, etc.). Once a single layer or course of Corbel Ledge Blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks, in the main core and the extended ledge core. The Fox Blocks xLerator reinforcement is designed to be placed in the top of the of Corbel Ledge Block to provide engineered reinforcement for the corbel.After the concrete is poured/cured, the Corbel Ledge Block can support a 25′ tall masonry wall.
