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.
What if my contractor doesn’t know how to build with it?
Fox Blocks offers the most com­pre­hen­sive installer train­ing in the indus­try. We can train your con­trac­tor or help you locate a trained installer in your area.

ICC 500 Missile Impact Testing Requirements for Storm Shelters and Safe Rooms
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.
Does expanded polystyrene (EPS) present a serious fire hazard?
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.
