Both ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal ICFs con­struc­tion cre­ate mois­ture- and dis­as­ter-resis­tant walls with excel­lent R‑values. But which is the bet­ter ICF wall?

Easy-to-install ICF wall sys­tems help cre­ate ener­gy-effi­cient, durable, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and healthy homes. But do you need addi­tion­al wall insu­la­tion for ICF homes?

The much antic­i­pat­ed and patient­ly wait­ed for Fox Blocks deal­er loca­tor is here!

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.

Research by Texas Tech Wind Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Research Cen­ter has demon­strat­ed that ICF walls bet­ter pro­tect occu­pants of hous­es from wind­blown debris, than frame walls. Being hit by wind­blown debris is the most com­mon cause of injury dur­ing tor­na­does.

Wall sys­tems con­struct­ed with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICFs ) ensure a wind-resis­tant struc­ture with a strong con­tin­u­ous load path that holds the roof, walls, floors, and foun­da­tion togeth­er dur­ing an intense wind event.

With a com­bi­na­tion of high- tech build­ing mate­ri­als and stream­lined ener­gy renew­al sources, net zero ener­gy build­ings are per­fect exam­ples of the ​“waste not, want not” con­cept.

I had a call this week from a con­trac­tor who want­ed to know if there was an easy way to build a two foot jog into a wall. This brought back flash­backs of when I used to attempt to inter­lock cor­ners think­ing the strength of the inter­lock was going to hold things togeth­er dur­ing con­crete place­ment.

Paves way for accel­er­at­ed growth in sus­tain­able con­struc­tion prod­ucts.
