What Additional Insulation Do You Need for an ICF Home?
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?
Understanding Insurance Trends for Wood vs. Concrete Midrise Buildings
Cinder Block (CMU) vs. Traditional Poured Concrete Wall Foundations
We cover the differences between CMU blocks and poured concrete foundations so that you don’t have to learn from trial and error.
The Business Case for Building Multifamily with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)
Integrated Design in Architecture and Construction
In the field of architecture and construction, integrated design is a powerful solution that tackles the inefficiencies of traditional isolated processes. This approach combines different project elements under a unified vision, and proves particularly effective with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) like those from Fox Blocks. By using ICF, the building process becomes more efficient and collaborative.
3 Reasons Why Building with LEED Materials is Better for Your Business
As green building becomes more common practice, there is a trend towards lower construction costs associated with building sustainably, due to improved technologies and more readily available environmentally friendly building materials.

Effective Strategies to Insulate Block Walls
Improving the insulation of block walls significantly enhances energy efficiency, comfort, and durability in both residential and commercial spaces. Block walls, often made of concrete masonry units (CMUs), are sturdy but notoriously poor at retaining heat without proper insulation.
CMU Walls: Advantages, Disadvantages and A Better Option
Insulated concrete form blocks provide a host of advantages over traditional CMUs, including better energy efficiency, easier construction, and improved resilience.
