Fox Blocks Announces Membership in the NRMCA
We are excited to announce that Fox Blocks is now a member of the National Ready Mix Concrete Association (NRMCA).
Can you build and pour concrete in cold weather?
Yes. The forms insulate the concrete and enhance the curing process. The top of the forms, or exposed concrete areas will need to be covered, temporarily, with insulation to prevent the exposed concrete from freezing. Fox Blocks projects can be constructed any time of the year, no delays for cold weather.

What exterior finishes can be used on an ICF?
Fox Blocks are compatible with all exterior finish materials and systems – siding, stucco, masonry veneer, simulated stone, etc. The attachment of certain exterior finishing systems is recommended with exterior grade screws fastened into the exposed or concealed webs.
