Insulated Concrete Form Installation Checklist
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.
Back to Basics: Advantages of Fox Blocks ICF Forms
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.

Attaching Floor Joists to Your Insulated Concrete Forms
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.
How Strong is the Fox Blocks 90° Corner?
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.
Remove Costs on your ICF Project
Two proven areas to remove costs are cor­ners and truss wire.
New Training for the Fox Block Interlock
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.

Industry Standard ICF’s: Feedback from Contractors
Jan­u­ary through April is when we plant our seeds for the year by dis­play­ing our prod­uct for the mar­ket in trade shows. I’ve par­tic­i­pat­ed in these trade shows for 17 years now in the ICF indus­try and it has always been the same old thing, but this year was notably dif­fer­ent.
