Build­ing a strong and reli­able foun­da­tion is a sig­nif­i­cant step in the con­struc­tion of any home or build­ing. The cost of this process varies depend­ing on foun­da­tion type, mate­r­i­al, and labor require­ments.

The EPS in an Fox Blocks has a flame retar­dant that allows the forms to be flame resis­tant. The EPS will melt when exposed to sus­tained tem­per­a­tures over 300°F (149°C). The igni­tion point of the melt­ed styrene is 600°F (315°C) (wood is approx­i­mate­ly 500°F (260°C). Fox Blocks have been test­ed to meet the build­ing code require­ments for flame spread and smoke devel­op­ment, plus Fox Blocks may be used as fire resis­tant rat­ed wall assem­blies in schools and hos­pi­tals.

Improv­ing the insu­la­tion of block walls sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhances ener­gy effi­cien­cy, com­fort, and dura­bil­i­ty in both res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial spaces. Block walls, often made of con­crete mason­ry units (CMUs), are stur­dy but noto­ri­ous­ly poor at retain­ing heat with­out prop­er insu­la­tion.

Muse­ums shape how peo­ple inter­act with his­to­ry, art, and knowl­edge — long before they step into the first exhib­it. Lay­out and design choic­es influ­ence not only the vis­i­tor jour­ney but also long-term preser­va­tion, ener­gy use, and oper­a­tional func­tion.
