How do frame in openings?
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.
Do you need special code approvals to build with Fox Blocks ICFs?
No, ICFs in gen­er­al are cov­ered in the build­ing code and Fox Blocks ICF has a prod­uct eval­u­a­tion report that con­firms the prod­uct and appli­ca­tions meet the require­ments of the respec­tive build­ing codes in the USA and Cana­da. These reports are avail­able on our web­site.
