Fox Blocks Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms out­last storms, fire, floods, and extreme weath­er. See how ICF con­struc­tion out­per­forms wood frame and why the best builders are mak­ing the switch.

Fox Blocks Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms deliv­er R‑23.5+ insu­la­tion, a con­tin­u­ous air bar­ri­er, and vapor bar­ri­er for net-zero ready build­ings. Reduce heat­ing and cool­ing costs by up to 25%.

One room should not feel like a dif­fer­ent sea­son from the rest of the house. When a bed­room runs hot, an office stays cold, or an upstairs room nev­er set­tles down, one ther­mo­stat set­ting can leave peo­ple adjust­ing blan­kets, vents, fans, and room-by-room workarounds just to get through the day.

Under­stand­ing insur­ance is key when build­ing a new home — for both home­own­ers and builders.

Con­crete is a ver­sa­tile and durable con­struc­tion mate­r­i­al that is pre­dom­i­nant­ly used in both com­mer­cial and res­i­den­tial struc­tures. It’s essen­tial to under­stand con­crete’s ther­mal prop­er­ties, specif­i­cal­ly its tem­per­a­ture lim­its, to opti­mize its strength and dura­bil­i­ty.

When it comes to build­ing a stur­dy, ener­gy-effi­cient foun­da­tion for your home, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) tech­nol­o­gy is rapid­ly grow­ing in pop­u­lar­i­ty. By pro­vid­ing supe­ri­or insu­la­tion, an ICF foun­da­tion can sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce heat­ing and cool­ing costs. Build­ing an ICF foun­da­tion can also be eas­i­er and less labor-inten­sive than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion due to the light­weight mate­ri­als involved. How­ev­er, the ini­tial cost can some­times be high­er than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion meth­ods, so how much does an ICF foun­da­tion cost?
