Does EPS ‘off gas’?
EPS does not off-gas. Fox Blocks forms do not and never have contained any CFC or HCFC products. The forms are made by a steam process that utilizes ‘pentene gas’ as a blowing agent. The blowing agent dissipates from the product within 48 hours of manufacturing. Fox Blocks forms are odorless, do not deteriorate, and do not off gas.

How does the ICF block get secured to the foundation?
The ICF blocks are held in place with either low expansion spray foam or a metal starter track.

The concrete is connected to the footing with reinforcing dowels.
