Our insu­lat­ed con­crete forms are sol­id mono­lith­ic walls and with­stand the worst of rain­storms, fires, and high winds — includ­ing tor­na­does.

Any sus­tain­abil­i­ty con­sul­tant will tell you that a building’s insu­la­tion is a cru­cial part in con­struct­ing an ener­gy-effi­cient, high per­for­mance home. Choos­ing the right mate­r­i­al and insu­la­tion method for a build ensures home­own­ers will have a sus­tain­able build­ing enve­lope for the life cycle of the home.

The chal­lenge for this build was to cre­ate a home that would appeal to a sophis­ti­cat­ed buy­er with fea­tures that an emp­ty nester mov­ing from a larg­er more expan­sive home would enjoy. The result is an ener­gy effi­cient home which cre­ative­ly uses space in an attrac­tive, lux­u­ri­ous, and cost effec­tive way.

We have found it to be a waste of time and ener­gy to attempt to off­set or stag­ger the block as in the pho­to to the left. By cre­at­ing a ver­ti­cal stacked seam you will be more accu­rate with the job dimen­sions and will increase your prof­it by gain­ing effi­cien­cy.

Fox Blocks ICF offered an ener­gy-effi­cient solu­tion for a build­ing full of pres­sur­ized mois­ture because mois­ture does not affect the ICF, even over the long term. Pota­to stor­age is at a con­stant 100% rel­a­tive humid­i­ty and 1.5 cfm pres­sure, which caus­es oth­er forms of con­struc­tion to go through com­plex detail­ing to keep mois­ture out of the wall cav­i­ty.
