MADISON RESIDENCE
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.
What is the typical Interior finish on an ICF?
All building codes in the USA and Canada specify that plastic insulation (EPS) must be covered by a thermal barrier equivalent to 15 minutes of fire protection in habitable spaces. This is achieved with ½” gypsum board or an equivalent material. Fox Blocks has specific fire testing that proves regular ½” gypsum board with regular drywall screws fastened into the plastic webs remains on the wall for the required 15-minute time period.

Party Wall Construction: Why ICFs Are the Best Option
Party wall construction plays a crucial role in the development of townhouses, condominiums, and duplexes. Party walls are strategically placed to separate individual units within a shared structure, to provide privacy, fire protection, and structural stability.
