With advice from lead­ing con­trac­tors in the Insu­lat­ed Con­crete Form busi­ness, Fox Blocks has cre­at­ed an incred­i­ble group of blocks.

Our insu­lat­ed con­crete forms are sol­id mono­lith­ic walls and with­stand the worst of rain­storms, fires, and high winds — includ­ing tor­na­does.

The NRM­CA is a mem­ber­ship orga­ni­za­tion for the con­crete indus­try and is a lead­ing indus­try advo­cate that pro­vides infor­ma­tion and updates to its mem­bers about the lat­est tech­niques, mate­ri­als and tech­nolo­gies.

Thanks to Randy and Bart, many Las Vegas fire sta­tions will be now be built using Fox Blocks core 6″ insu­lat­ed con­crete forms. An excit­ing exam­ple of excel­lent work between a region­al man­ag­er and a top flight local deal­er.

The steel rein­forced con­crete, which can cure stronger than nor­mal con­crete because of the foam insu­la­tion, can with­stand winds of over 200 MPH, and pro­jec­tile debris trav­el­ing over 100 MPH. There are dozens of eye wit­ness exam­ples of ICF homes tak­ing EF5 tor­na­does head on with the walls still stand­ing.

Rebuild­ing after a wild­fire with Fox Blocks insu­lat­ed con­crete form (ICF) con­struc­tion can pro­tect a new struc­ture and its occu­pants from future wild­fires.

The build­ing indus­try has seen a rel­a­tive­ly recent trend of archi­tects, design­ers, and home­own­ers mov­ing away from ener­gy con­sump­tive forms of con­struc­tion and the imple­men­ta­tion of more sus­tain­able, less expen­sive con­struc­tion meth­ods.

Take a tour with us through the Gym­na­si­um Bour­gade Hill­man High School in Phoenix, AZ.

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.
