Non-com­bustible, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion is a bet­ter approach to fire safe­ty over wood con­struc­tion.

In order to max­i­mize the avail­able project foot­print and achieve the beau­ti­ful mediter­ranean-inspired look, the design required com­plex, tight-radius cor­ners and open­ings.

Build­ing a new home offers you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to include the lat­est ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, and sus­tain­able prod­ucts and meth­ods, sav­ing you mon­ey on month­ly and long-term expens­es.

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.

A com­bi­na­tion of ongo­ing short­ages and increas­ing demand has led to high­er prices for fiber­glass insu­la­tion. What is the best way to deal with it?

Dur­ing a severe weath­er event, the most crit­i­cal fac­tor for increas­ing the chances of a building’s sur­vival is pro­tec­tion of all the open­ings to the out­side. Once the wind enters the struc­ture, the pres­sure changes lead to dis­as­trous results.

The con­trac­tor need­ed a build­ing solu­tion that would pro­vide a sus­tain­able devel­op­ment that would stim­u­late the local econ­o­my and pre­serve the his­toric feel of the com­mu­ni­ty. In addi­tion to the envi­ron­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, the com­mit­ment to pri­vate, ener­gy effi­cient units was a sell­ing point of build­ing with Fox Blocks ICF.

Fox Blocks has devel­oped the Fox Buck specif­i­cal­ly to frame open­ings such as win­dows and doors. The Fox Buck pro­vides insu­la­tion around the open­ing plus sup­port for the attach­ment of the win­dow or door.
