“We com­plet­ed 9,000 square-feet of wall in just five days with only five men. With nor­mal mason­ry, it would have tak­en dou­ble the man pow­er. Fox Blocks qual­i­ty and ease of instal­la­tion is impor­tant in an indus­try where time is mon­ey.”

Fox Blocks has been mak­ing insu­lat­ed con­crete forms since 2005. Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, was found­ed in 1946, and today, it is still a fam­i­ly owned busi­ness. Air­lite pro­duces plas­tic con­tain­ers and insu­lat­ed pack­ag­ing prod­ucts for a vari­ety of indus­tries, so we share knowl­edge of plas­tics inno­va­tion through­out the com­pa­ny.

In this arti­cle, we’ll explore flood proof home con­struc­tion using inno­v­a­tive mate­ri­als and tech­niques, with a focus on insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs).

As extreme weath­er events increase in fre­quen­cy and inten­si­ty, the demand for reli­able storm pro­tec­tion has nev­er been more urgent. Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms (ICFs) offer an advanced solu­tion for con­struct­ing storm rooms that deliv­er unpar­al­leled safe­ty, dura­bil­i­ty, and ener­gy effi­cien­cy.

The meth­ods and mate­ri­als for sus­tain­able com­mu­ni­ties encour­age dura­bil­i­ty, ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, and supe­ri­or indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).

Fox Blocks ICF offered an ener­gy-effi­cient solu­tion for a build­ing full of pres­sur­ized mois­ture because mois­ture does not affect the ICF, even over the long term. Pota­to stor­age is at a con­stant 100% rel­a­tive humid­i­ty and 1.5 cfm pres­sure, which caus­es oth­er forms of con­struc­tion to go through com­plex detail­ing to keep mois­ture out of the wall cav­i­ty.
