Wood has been a sta­ple in con­struc­tion for cen­turies. From the hum­ble log cab­in to the tow­er­ing sky­scrap­ers of mod­ern metrop­o­lis­es, wood always seems to find its place in con­struc­tion.

The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.

Build­ing a home involves care­ful plan­ning and metic­u­lous con­struc­tion. The mate­ri­als used can dra­mat­i­cal­ly impact the dura­bil­i­ty, aes­thet­ics, and com­fort of the home. This arti­cle will explore the sev­en most durable build­ing mate­ri­als for res­i­den­tial con­struc­tion, and pro­vide insights into the strongest mate­r­i­al for build­ing a house and the longest-last­ing build­ing mate­ri­als avail­able today​.

Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, cre­ates plas­tic prod­ucts for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions – so we have a con­stant sup­ply of first-gen­er­a­tion recy­cled mate­r­i­al. And since it’s right here in our facil­i­ties, we work toward the small­est car­bon foot­print pos­si­ble.

Sev­en spe­cif­ic prob­lems with wood frame con­struc­tion include fire- and wind-resis­tance, dura­bil­i­ty, low ther­mal mass, shrink­age, and com­pro­mised acoustics and indoor air qual­i­ty (IAQ).

This arti­cle will out­line the impor­tance of con­struc­tion work­flow in com­mer­cial projects, the process­es that often take the most time dur­ing con­struc­tion, the ben­e­fits of using ICF and how specif­i­cal­ly Fox Blocks’ ICF can help save time and costs on your next project.
