We built a test wall 440 feet long x 9′-4″ tall with 24 turns, with no brac­ing or strap­ping, to test the 90 degree blocks with con­crete.

Trag­i­cal­ly, between 2000 and 2017 there were 894 wind and 1417 tor­na­do-relat­ed deaths. In 2017, 36 per­cent of the wind and 63 per­cent of the tor­na­do-relat­ed fatal­i­ties hap­pened either in a mobile or per­ma­nent home. A wind-resis­tant design is crit­i­cal to a home­’s integri­ty and a family’s safe­ty.

Build­ing a tsuna­mi-proof house requires strate­gic plan­ning and the use of spe­cial­ized mate­ri­als. Coastal homes face unique chal­lenges that demand solu­tions capa­ble of with­stand­ing pow­er­ful waves and the debris they car­ry.

Resilient build­ings made with Fox Blocks ICFs will pro­tect a com­mer­cial build­ing’s integri­ty against severe winds, flood­ing, earth­quakes, extreme tem­per­a­tures, and fire.

An ICF home, like one built with Fox Blocks, pro­vides many of the essen­tial fea­tures that today’s home­own­er is look­ing for: excel­lent indoor envi­ron­men­tal qual­i­ty (IEQ), ener­gy-effi­cien­cy, and dis­as­ter-resis­tance.

In this video, Fox Blocks’ Glen Klassen shows how to make a mitered cor­ner with the Cor­bel Ledge Block.

When you’re build­ing with insu­lat­ed con­crete forms, chances are you’re going to need to set up scaf­fold­ing.

Fox Blocks was con­tact­ed to sup­ply some info for a quick sto­ry air­ing on Fox News, on fire resis­tant homes and ICFs.
