I was a believ­er in using truss wire when installing oth­er ICF’s but now that I’m using the Fox Blocks ICF I have been con­vinced by con­trac­tors that it is not nec­es­sary.

Trav­el­ing back to my home/​office in Atlanta from the recent World of Con­crete Show in Las Vegas, I was able to reflect on some of our company’s recent achieve­ments. The recent World of Con­crete show gave our com­pa­ny a plat­form or per­fect oppor­tu­ni­ty to…

I had a call this week from a con­trac­tor who want­ed to know if there was an easy way to build a two foot jog into a wall. This brought back flash­backs of when I used to attempt to inter­lock cor­ners think­ing the strength of the inter­lock was going to hold things togeth­er dur­ing con­crete place­ment.

For­tu­nate­ly, with the grow­ing pop­u­lar­i­ty of sus­tain­able and acces­si­ble design, it’s eas­i­er than ever to help clients cre­ate a space that will meet their chang­ing needs over the years.

Just one way to attach your floor sys­tem to the side of a Fox Blocks wall when build­ing with Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Forms for mul­ti­ple sto­ries of con­struc­tion.

For­ti­fied home con­struc­tion refers to using mate­ri­als and tech­niques in com­bi­na­tion with one anoth­er to make your home stronger and more resilient as a shel­ter.

Insu­lat­ed con­crete forms (ICF) cre­ate a more ener­gy-effi­cient, qui­et, and healthy build­ing than one built with wood-frame con­struc­tion. ICF build­ings are also more resis­tant to dis­as­ter, fire, insect, and mois­ture intru­sion than wood-frame struc­tures.

An ICF home, like one built with Fox Blocks, pro­vides many of the essen­tial fea­tures that today’s home­own­er is look­ing for: excel­lent indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ), ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, and dis­as­ter-resis­tance.
