The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. This block has six strong, full-length injection, molded plastic ties made from Polypropylene (PP) regrind resin that are well marked with the words “Fox Blocks” located on both sides of the block.
The Straight Block typically makes up between 80-85% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. The performance characteristics of our wall assembly can reduce a building’s heating and cooling cost dramatically (up to 50%) and puts Net Zero Energy goals within reach. Our ICF wall assembly meets and exceeds safety/resilience/durability requirements for Division 03 Concrete, Section 031119 ICF Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) & FEMA-ATFP Federal Military and DoD Standards FEMA-ATFP.
Our wall assembly provides indoor comfort and improves a building’s performance characteristics for the interior environment by eliminating moisture intrusion, managing the airflow and allowing for accurate climate control and minimizing sound mitigation. Plus, our wall assembly works with all exterior/interior finishes you choose to use, be it EIFS, traditional stucco, brick, stone, fiber cement siding or drywall. With blocks available in a number of shapes, sizes, and concrete core thicknesses, we can create any design you can dream up.
