Under­stand­ing new build­ing codes is cru­cial for con­struc­tion pro­fes­sion­als and home­own­ers alike, espe­cial­ly with the increased fre­quen­cy and inten­si­ty of hur­ri­canes and tor­na­does.

Non-com­bustible, insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion is a bet­ter approach to fire safe­ty over wood con­struc­tion.

Last year Fox Blocks decid­ed we could add speed and val­ue to the Tilt Up indus­try and it took all of 2 weeks to get the Fox Tilt insert engi­neered, mold made, and pro­duc­tion start­ed. I can’t stop grin­ning about the capa­bil­i­ties of our par­ent Air­lite Plas­tics.

The own­er of this 6,000 square foot home was attract­ed to Fox Blocks because of its ener­gy effi­cien­cy but was also hap­py with the ease of con­struc­tion that save time and mon­ey.

How do you improve an Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form wall that already out-per­forms most wall sys­tems in all cli­mates? You move the con­crete mass toward the liv­ing side of the wall.

A com­bi­na­tion of ongo­ing short­ages and increas­ing demand has led to high­er prices for fiber­glass insu­la­tion. What is the best way to deal with it?

Exte­ri­or wind dam­age is respon­si­ble for 25% of all home­own­er insur­ance claims. That doesn’t include the inte­ri­or loss­es that occur when dam­aged win­dows and roofs let rain wreak hav­oc inside. While we can’t pre­vent wind­storms, we can lessen their dam­age by plan­ning home designs with wind-resis­tance as a top pri­or­i­ty.
