Both ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal ICFs con­struc­tion cre­ate mois­ture- and dis­as­ter-resis­tant walls with excel­lent R‑values. But which is the bet­ter ICF wall?

Resilient build­ings made with Fox Blocks ICFs will pro­tect a com­mer­cial build­ing’s integri­ty against severe winds, flood­ing, earth­quakes, extreme tem­per­a­tures, and fire.

Con­crete house con­struc­tion pro­vides home­own­ers with many ben­e­fits, includ­ing ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, and low-main­te­nance.

The chal­lenge for this build was to cre­ate a home that would appeal to a sophis­ti­cat­ed buy­er with fea­tures that an emp­ty nester mov­ing from a larg­er more expan­sive home would enjoy.

Build­ing a new home starts with a series of tech­ni­cal choic­es that define long-term per­for­mance. Every sys­tem, from struc­ture to HVAC, must work togeth­er for ener­gy effi­cien­cy, com­fort, and dura­bil­i­ty.
