11 Problems Associated with Structural Insulated Panels and a Better Alternative
Con­trac­tors and archi­tects can avoid the prob­lems of struc­tur­al insu­lat­ed pan­el (SIP) wall con­struc­tion with Fox Blocks ICFs.

Embodied Carbon vs Operational Carbon: The ICF Advantage for Operational Carbon Buildings
The envi­ron­men­tal impact of build­ings is a key con­cern in mod­ern con­struc­tion, focus­ing on reduc­ing car­bon emis­sions. A clear under­stand­ing of embod­ied and oper­a­tional car­bon, along with their dif­fer­ences, is essen­tial for sus­tain­able con­struc­tion strate­gies.
Does Concrete Mix Really Matter?
Prop­er con­crete mix saves time on labor, facil­i­tates con­crete con­sol­i­da­tion and ensures a suc­cess­ful Fox Blocks wall pour.

WINTERSET COMMUNITY CHURCH ADDITION
Win­ter­set Com­mu­ni­ty Church want­ed a larg­er gath­er­ing space for the local com­mu­ni­ty, so they decid­ed to add a gym­na­si­um to their wor­ship build­ing. The addi­tion had to be built quick­ly while the church was still in use, blend in seam­less­ly with the exist­ing struc­ture, and offer high noise pro­tec­tion between the church and the gym­na­si­um.

ICF Walls Are Less Expensive Than CMU
Many con­trac­tors ask us the same ques­tion: Is ICF more expen­sive than CMU? Here’s why ICF walls are less expen­sive than CMU and offer bet­ter ben­e­fits.

What is the Concrete Temperature Limit?
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.
