Absolute­ly. The exte­ri­or walls are two lay­ers of con­tin­u­ous insu­la­tion, the den­si­ty of sol­id con­crete and a lay­er of ½” gyp­sum board on the inside all con­tribute to supe­ri­or sound sup­pres­sion of STC 50 for the whole build­ing enve­lope. Note: A wood frame sys­tem of equiv­a­lent STC rat­ing would be 2 x 4 studs spaced 16˝ o/​c, with 3½˝ absorp­tive mate­r­i­al, 1 lay­er of 5 /8˝ Type X gyp­sum board on resilient chan­nels spaced 16˝ o/​c, and 2 lay­ers of 5 /8˝ Type X gyp­sum board on the oth­er side.

Ash­bury Hills Ele­men­tary School is the first com­plete school built with ICFs in the state of Nebras­ka, and its gym­na­si­um was built to full height with Fox Blocks.

Fox Blocks ICF announced that it will acquire select key assets from ARXX Build­ing Prod­ucts, inte­grat­ing those assets into its own oper­a­tions and aug­ment­ing the Fox Blocks Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form (ICF) prod­uct line.

Fox Blocks Vice Pres­i­dent Mike Ken­naw and East Coast Sales Man­ag­er Bri­an Med­ford par­tic­i­pat­ed in the 3^rd Annu­al Fed­er­al Asset Man­age­ment Pol­i­cy Forum and Expo in the Wash­ing­ton, D.C. area the week of Octo­ber 17, 2016.

A Zero-Ener­gy Liv­ing Con­cept for a Brighter and Green­er Future. Zero Place is a ground­break­ing devel­op­ment boast­ing zero-ener­gy liv­ing in its four-sto­ry mixed-use build­ing with 46 mul­ti-fam­i­ly units and 8,400 square feet of retail space.

Fox Blocks ICF offered an ener­gy-effi­cient solu­tion for a build­ing full of pres­sur­ized mois­ture because mois­ture does not affect the ICF, even over the long term. Pota­to stor­age is at a con­stant 100% rel­a­tive humid­i­ty and 1.5 cfm pres­sure, which caus­es oth­er forms of con­struc­tion to go through com­plex detail­ing to keep mois­ture out of the wall cav­i­ty.

We don’t just work toward improv­ing our own prod­ucts and ser­vices: we want the entire build­ing indus­try to improve. Involve­ment in and lead­er­ship of crit­i­cal orga­ni­za­tions and com­mit­tees ensures we are at the fore­front of pro­vid­ing high-qual­i­ty ben­e­fits for all project stake­hold­ers.

With advice from lead­ing con­trac­tors in the Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form busi­ness, Fox Blocks has cre­at­ed an incred­i­ble group of blocks.
