SEARCH RESULTS FOR “Concrete in blocks”

After los­ing their home to a fire in 2017, the project own­ers aimed to build a replace­ment that was sim­i­lar in design but stronger and more fire-resis­tant. The fire had exten­sive­ly dam­aged the site, which neces­si­tat­ed a com­plete demo­li­tion of the old struc­ture, includ­ing the for­mer base­ment, pri­or to the con­struc­tion of the new ICF home.

Light­weight and stur­dy ICFs, like Fox Blocks, speed up new home con­struc­tion with quick and easy instal­la­tion, guar­an­teed avail­abil­i­ty, and both hot and cold tem­per­a­ture resis­tance. 

Com­mer­cial con­trac­tors and their clients are show­ing a greater inter­est in design­ing build­ings that can stand strong dur­ing nat­ur­al dis­as­ters. In their quest for for­ti­fied mate­ri­als, more of them are turn­ing to ICF con­struc­tion.

Fox Blocks announces that their ICF wall assem­bly passed the ICC 500 required Mis­sile Impact test used to deter­mine com­pli­ance of storm shel­ter and safe room design and con­struc­tion from fly­ing debris in severe high-wind weath­er events.
