How to Alleviate Risk Management by Building with ICFs
ICF Construction: Theater Owners Like What They Hear AND What They Don't
ICF Wall Systems are the superior choice for building commercial theaters, due to how they contain internal sound as well as mitigate external sound.
Keep Calm - That School Was Built With ICFs
Insulated Concrete Form wall systems, Fox Blocks, are a way to create an extremely safe structure. When teachers and students return to an ICF school, they are protected against these elements.
How to Achieve a High Whole-Wall Thermal Performance With Fox Block ICFs
The whole-wall thermal performance of ICF ensures a comfortable living and working space with energy savings and manageable bills.
What is a Shear Wall and How Does it Protect Your Building?
Construction of a shear wall includes materials and design that enhance a structure’s stiffness, strength, and ductility in order to withstand lateral forces from severe winds and earthquakes.

How to Build a 4-Hour Fire Wall: Thickness, Materials, and Assembly
Exterior Wall Thickness: How Thick Should Your Walls Be?
The exterior wall thickness of a home significantly impacts the house’s energy efficiency, disaster resistance, and IEQ. Learn how thick exterior walls should be.
The Advantages of ICF over CMU Construction
Concrete masonry units (CMU) and insulated concrete form (ICF) walls have several features in common: energy-efficiency, durability, and good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). However, ICF is quicker and easier to install compared to CMU, which saves time and money.
Shear Walls vs. Load Bearing Walls
When constructing a building, ensuring its stability and resilience is critical. Two essential components that play crucial roles in building stability are shear walls and load bearing walls.
