The plas­tic webs in Fox Blocks forms are 100% recy­cled postin­dus­tri­al polypropy­lene. The EPS insu­la­tion is vir­gin mate­r­i­al. Recy­cled con­tent for an ICF block is mea­sured by weight. The recy­cled con­tent by weight of a stan­dard 6″ Fox Blocks form — 48%.

Light­weight and stur­dy ICFs, like Fox Blocks, speed up new home con­struc­tion with quick and easy instal­la­tion, guar­an­teed avail­abil­i­ty, and both hot and cold tem­per­a­ture resis­tance. 

When it comes to build­ing a stur­dy, ener­gy-effi­cient foun­da­tion for your home, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) tech­nol­o­gy is rapid­ly grow­ing in pop­u­lar­i­ty. By pro­vid­ing supe­ri­or insu­la­tion, an ICF foun­da­tion can sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce heat­ing and cool­ing costs. Build­ing an ICF foun­da­tion can also be eas­i­er and less labor-inten­sive than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion due to the light­weight mate­ri­als involved. How­ev­er, the ini­tial cost can some­times be high­er than tra­di­tion­al con­struc­tion meth­ods, so how much does an ICF foun­da­tion cost?

Fox Blocks con­tain a min­i­mum of 40% recy­cled con­tent by weight.

• Fox Blocks do not off-gas and are not man­u­fac­tured using any gas­es that deplete the ozone or are harm­ful to the envi­ron­ment.
• Fox Blocks require low embod­ied ener­gy to man­u­fac­ture.
• Fox Blocks do not con­tain any mate­ri­als, that pro­mote mold or mildew growth.
• Fox Blocks are an effi­cient con­struc­tion method there­by reduc­ing the amount of con­struc­tion waste, dust and air pol­lu­tion in the build­ing process.
• Build­ing with Fox Blocks will save on heat­ing and cool­ing costs because less air is exchanged between the out­side and inside of your home. This also means a small­er more effi­cient HVAC unit is required for the home.
• Fox Blocks are sus­tain­able. They will not rot or dete­ri­o­rate for the life of your home.
• Fox Blocks pro­vide a secure, durable, com­fort­able, long last­ing build­ing

Rein­forc­ing con­crete with the right mate­r­i­al can shape the suc­cess of any con­struc­tion project. The debate sur­round­ing fiber­glass rebar vs steel rebar sig­nif­i­cant­ly impacts a struc­ture’s per­for­mance, dura­bil­i­ty, and long-term costs.
