Fox Blocks provides the highest quality insulating concrete
Fox Blocks provides a full range of products and accessories to enable ultimate flexibility in the design and
compatibility for any finishes to create your dream home. And if your dream home is filled with angles, curves
and arches, we can handle that too! Almost any home design can be built with Fox Blocks ICFs.
Fox Blocks ICF homes are far superior to the standard home in energy efficiency because of the thermal mass
of the wall assembly. A Fox Blocks ICF home keeps heat in during the winter and cool air in during the summer.
Our ICF walls are insulated with a solid surface of continuous insulation on the inside and outside wall surfaces,
eliminating air infiltration and heat transfer issues.
A Fox Blocks home offers an extremely quiet living environment with substantially reduced sound transmission
between the outdoors and your indoor living area providing your family a calm, quiet, safe and comfortable home.

Air Tight Fox Blocks wall assembly combined with quality doors, windows and a properly secured and insulated
roof system.
Fox Blocks ICF assemblies provide indoor comfort and improve a home’s performance by eliminating moisture
intrusion, minimizing air filtration and allowing for accurate climate control and sound mitigation.
Fox Blocks ICFs address all three of the thermal transfer properties that define the energy efficiency of a home.
The performance characteristics of our wall assembly can dramatically reduce the first cost sizing and ongoing
expenses of heating and cooling systems as well as reduce the Photovoltic (Solar) requirements and costs putting
Net Zero within reach. A Fox Blocks integrated designed home, once certified, will exceed the National average
for a Net Zero Ready HERS rating.
