The Business Case for Building Multifamily with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)
Become a Net Zero Hero
With a com­bi­na­tion of high- tech build­ing mate­ri­als and stream­lined ener­gy renew­al sources, net zero ener­gy build­ings are per­fect exam­ples of the waste not, want not” con­cept.

Can the plastic webs be detected by using stud finders?

A stud find­er typ­i­cal­ly uses the den­si­ty of mate­ri­als to locate studs. The polypropy­lene (plas­tic) web mate­r­i­al will show up on high qual­i­ty den­si­ty stud find­ers. Note, the webs in Fox Blocks are spaced at 8″ (200 mm) on cen­ter and will be con­tin­u­ous ver­ti­cal­ly on each side of the wall.
