Insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICF) and struc­tur­al insu­lat­ed pan­els (SIPs) are two com­mon wall sys­tems used to con­struct com­mer­cial build­ings and homes.

To pro­tect a build­ing from fire and ensure the safe­ty of its occu­pants, today’s con­trac­tor and archi­tects aim to include fire-resis­tant com­po­nents.

Safe rooms are vital to the pro­tec­tion of a home’s occu­pants dur­ing a tor­na­do event. Build your safe room with ICF for max­i­mum pro­tec­tion.

Mod­ern insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) homes cre­ate ener­gy-effi­cient, dis­as­ter-resis­tant, and durable hous­es. Check out these design ideas.

ICF foun­da­tions, like one built with Fox Blocks, more effec­tive­ly resist heat flow, crack­ing, and mois­ture intru­sion over poured con­crete foun­da­tions.

Tor­na­do-resis­tant con­struc­tion is crit­i­cal in the Unit­ed States where an aver­age of 1253 cost­ly and dead­ly tor­na­does occur annu­al­ly.
