![]() This natural continuous air barrier creates comfortable indoor environments with enhanced climate control.Ĭreate spaces with healthier air quality. An R-value of 23.5+ plus whole-wall high performance enables Zero Energy Ready builds.Įxceeds the code minimum for airtightness. Provides superior thermal comfort, energy savings, and sound mitigation. It’s one of the strongest wall assemblies available for below and above-grade walls, exceeding safety/resilience/durability requirements for FEMA-ATFP Federal Military Standards. See Fox Blocks in action with the Discovery Elementary School building, one of only four schools in the nation to receive the zero energy certification.Ħ IN 1: THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE OUR ICF WALLS SUPERIOR These walls also help you meet your net-zero goals, bringing lifetime energy savings.įrom above and below-grade residential projects to offices, hotels, schools, government buildings, and more, our projects prove the success of our superior product. ![]() Net Zero Building with All-Season Protectionīring on the extreme weather: with Fox Blocks, resilient construction stands up against the elements. 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 reachįox Blocks walls are double-insulated, steel-reinforced concrete walls that are ready for your exterior and interior finishes and will provide peace of mind as they enable you to meet tomorrow’s building codes and design styles today. 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. The monolithic ICF wall provides uniform interior temperatures and superior sound attenuation properties to increase the building performance of any building type. Not only do ICF walls increase the resistance to fire and safety from natural disasters, but their airtight qualities allow for better indoor air quality, by giving the control back to the occupants of the building.
