The Ener­gy Sticks have been designed to work well in the sol­id Fox Blocks line as well as the 1440 line.

Fox Block­’s Glen Klassen shows you how to get it done for three dif­fer­ent radius­es.

Take a tour with us through the Gym­na­si­um Bour­gade Hill­man High School in Phoenix, AZ.

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.

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.

With advice from lead­ing con­trac­tors in the Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form busi­ness, Fox Blocks has cre­at­ed an incred­i­ble group of blocks.

Build­ing a home that stands up to severe weath­er and flood­ing is one thing. Design­ing a net zero ener­gy cus­tom home that your clients will love is anoth­er.

Ener­gy effi­cien­cy isn’t just a trend in archi­tec­ture and con­struc­tion, it’s a require­ment. Archi­tects and con­trac­tors now reg­u­lar­ly imple­ment sus­tain­able meth­ods into their projects, and hous­ing is no excep­tion.

While it’s great news that we’re not cur­rent­ly using more ener­gy to run our homes, the study also ​“rais­es impor­tant con­cerns about mak­ing home ener­gy use more effi­cient.” If American’s time at home con­tin­ues to rise, home effi­cien­cy will need to as well.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty is rapid­ly gain­ing momen­tum on a glob­al scale. But meet­ing mod­ern sus­tain­abil­i­ty require­ments presents a chal­lenge to con­struc­tion com­pa­nies and build­ing own­ers alike.
