Democ­rats and Repub­li­cans came togeth­er recent­ly to intro­duce the HOMES Act in Con­gress that would pro­vide rebates up to $8000 to home­own­ers who invest in ener­gy sav­ing per­for­mance improve­ments to their homes

The advan­tages of Fox Blocks ICFs are sev­er­al. Fox Blocks pro­vide a clever design that has the good fea­tures of the tried and true ear­ly brands of ICFs, and then has incor­po­rat­ed sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments, which enhance the ease of use to the installer.

Take a tour with us through the Gym­na­si­um Bour­gade Hill­man High School in Phoenix, AZ.

We built a test wall 440 feet long x 9′-4″ tall with 24 turns, with no brac­ing or strap­ping, to test the 90 degree blocks with con­crete.

Two proven areas to remove costs are cor­ners and truss wire.

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.

When the Fox Blocks inter­lock was designed our Engi­neer­ing staff made the choice not to focus on being with­in 1÷2” to 1” from the build­ing dimen­sion but to give the strongest inter­lock pos­si­ble.

We know esti­mat­ing for an ICF project can be daunt­ing if you don’t know where to start, so we’ve cre­at­ed this help­ful video tuto­r­i­al.

With advice from lead­ing con­trac­tors in the Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form busi­ness, Fox Blocks has cre­at­ed an incred­i­ble group of blocks.

The Ener­gy Sticks have been designed to work well in the sol­id Fox Blocks line as well as the 1440 line.
