When the Fox Blocks inter­lock was designed our Engi­neer­ing staff made the choice not to focus on being with­in 1÷2” to 1” from the build­ing dimen­sion but to give the strongest inter­lock pos­si­ble.

We have found it to be a waste of time and ener­gy to attempt to off­set or stag­ger the block as in the pho­to to the left. By cre­at­ing a ver­ti­cal stacked seam you will be more accu­rate with the job dimen­sions and will increase your prof­it by gain­ing effi­cien­cy.

Two proven areas to remove costs are cor­ners and truss wire.

We built a test wall 440 feet long x 9′-4″ tall with 24 turns, with no brac­ing or strap­ping, to test the 90 degree blocks with con­crete.

Just one way to attach your floor sys­tem to the side of a Fox Blocks wall when build­ing with Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms for mul­ti­ple sto­ries of con­struc­tion.

Check­lists can be an impor­tant part of any project. We’ve cre­at­ed a series of instal­la­tion check­lists bro­ken out in phas­es to help you be the most effi­cient with your next ICF project.

Democ­rats and Repub­li­cans came togeth­er recent­ly to intro­duce the HOMES Act in Con­gress that would pro­vide rebates up to $8000 to home­own­ers who invest in ener­gy sav­ing per­for­mance improve­ments to their homes

Mason­ry fore­man, Carl from Cas­ciani Mason­ry, explains the process and out­come of attach­ing heavy stone veneers to insu­lat­ed con­crete forms with Hohman Bernard 2‑Seal Con­crete Ties, also referred to as ​“cow bells”.

We’ve com­piled a list of zero-ener­gy homes that incor­po­rate sus­tain­able con­struc­tion into the build­ing process. The results are 5 facil­i­ties that prove zero net ener­gy can be achieved with care­ful plan­ning and appro­pri­ate imple­men­ta­tion.
