ICF con­struc­tion cre­ates mod­ern struc­tures that are ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and have good indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ). ICF con­struc­tion is also strong, flex­i­ble, fast and easy to install. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, even with these many ben­e­fits, some archi­tects and con­trac­tors are reluc­tant to uti­lize it due to mis­con­cep­tions about ICF con­struc­tion.

In addi­tion to the envi­ron­men­tal con­sid­er­a­tions, the com­mit­ment to pri­vate, ener­gy effi­cient units was a sell­ing point of build­ing with Fox Blocks ICF.

Con­trac­tors and archi­tects can avoid the prob­lems of struc­tur­al insu­lat­ed pan­el (SIP) wall con­struc­tion with Fox Blocks ICFs.

A mod­ern, high-per­for­mance home pro­vides you with ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, safe­ty, and a high-lev­el of indoor envi­ron­ment qual­i­ty (IEQ) for your fam­i­ly’s com­fort.

A slow­down at the lum­ber mills due to the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic, com­bined with oth­er fac­tors, has led to lum­ber short­ages and sky­rock­et­ing prices.
