How ICF Reduces Production Time and Costs When Building a Movie Theater
ICF con­struc­tion expe­dites the pro­duc­tion of a movie the­ater and reduces labor costs over both wood-frame and CMU con­struc­tion.

Fox Blocks ICF offered an ener­gy-effi­cient solu­tion for a build­ing full of pres­sur­ized mois­ture because mois­ture does not affect the ICF, even over the long term. Pota­to stor­age is at a con­stant 100% rel­a­tive humid­i­ty and 1.5 cfm pres­sure, which caus­es oth­er forms of con­struc­tion to go through com­plex detail­ing to keep mois­ture out of the wall cav­i­ty.
Can you vibrate or consolidate the concrete in ICFs?
Yes, con­sol­i­da­tion of the con­crete is one of the key ele­ments in the place­ment of con­crete in an ICF wall. Fox Blocks rec­om­mends inter­nal vibra­tion with a pen­cil vibra­tor, quick­ly in and slow­ly out.

What is Concrete Pumping and How Does It Work?
Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.

CINEPOLIS THEATER
The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.
