Prop­er con­crete mix saves time on labor, facil­i­tates con­crete con­sol­i­da­tion and ensures a suc­cess­ful Fox Blocks wall pour.

Fox Blocks is excit­ed to announce con­tin­ued expan­sion of our ICF man­u­fac­tur­ing loca­tions! We are now being pro­duced in Keller, TX and Nixa, MO- bring­ing the total to 18 man­u­fac­tur­ing points across the US and Cana­da.

The con­crete mix is a high slump 5″- 6.5″ (125 mm – 165 mm) with a small­er aggre­gate size so the con­crete flows eas­i­ly. The per­son in charge of plac­ing the con­crete should watch the con­crete flow through­out the whole wall to ensure there are no void pock­ets. Inter­nal vibrat­ing pro­vides good con­sol­i­da­tion, elim­i­nat­ing voids.

Build­ing an ICF house allows for the appli­ca­tion of many types of exte­ri­or fin­ish­es. The choice of exte­ri­or fin­ish comes down to your per­son­al deci­sion, cost, and local styles.
