Ener­gy Star does not eval­u­ate or rate insu­la­tion prod­ucts. Every Fox Blocks home when test­ed by an Ener­gy Rater, can meet and exceed the Ener­gy Star home stan­dards and achieve a 5 Star rat­ing and a ​‘HERS’ score well below the min­i­mum Ener­gy Star require­ment of 85, or in Cana­da, high­er than an Ener­Guide rat­ing of 80.

The ICF blocks are held in place with either low expan­sion spray foam or a met­al starter track. The bracing/​alignment sys­tem, typ­i­cal­ly installed after the 4^th course of block, also sup­ports the ICFs in place. Once the con­crete is in the wall there is no con­cern with the forms mov­ing. The con­crete is con­nect­ed to the foot­ing with rein­forc­ing dow­els.

The advan­tages of Fox Blocks ICFs are sev­er­al. Fox Blocks pro­vide a clever design that has the good fea­tures of the tried and true ear­ly brands of ICFs, and then has incor­po­rat­ed sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments, which enhance the ease of use to the installer.

“Fox Blocks and Habi­tat for Human­i­ty have a grow­ing rela­tion­ship, built on our com­mon inter­est in pro­vid­ing home own­ers with well-built homes that are ener­gy effi­cient.”

Fox Blocks ICF announced that it will acquire select key assets from ARXX Build­ing Prod­ucts, inte­grat­ing those assets into its own oper­a­tions and aug­ment­ing the Fox Blocks Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form (ICF) prod­uct line.

Wall sys­tems con­struct­ed with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs ) ensure a wind-resis­tant struc­ture with a strong con­tin­u­ous load path that holds the roof, walls, floors, and foun­da­tion togeth­er dur­ing an intense wind event.

Fox Blocks is proud to announce win­ning sev­er­al awards this year and would like to thank our part­ners through­out the indus­try. With­out our team, win­ning these pres­ti­gious awards would not be pos­si­ble.
