FOX BLOCKS SERIES CONFIGURATIONS
Straight Block
The Straight Block typically makes up between 80-85% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. 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. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Once a single layer or course of ICF blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks, then another course of Straight Blocks are placed firmly on top as the wall is built. To improve construction wall strength during installation, each course of blocks should have their end-joint connections staggered in a running bond method from the course adjacent to it. This installation method is typical for all Fox Blocks ICF form types and sizes. Fox Blocks has proven results for setting exceptional standards in cost control, planning, scheduling and project safety. We have experience that gives us a competitive advantage over others in our field.
Corner Block
The 90 Degree Corner Block typically makes up 15-20% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. 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 corner block also has one patent pending corner bracket designed like no other in the ICF Industry. This 7/32″ thick x 1-1/2″ wide corner bracket was engineered to add more strength/support to the block because it connects the inner/outer modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam panels together and is designed to eliminate blow-outs during the concrete pour.
Transition T Block
45 Degree Angle Block
The 45 Degree Angle Block typically makes up less than 5% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. This block has five 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 7/32″ thick x 1-1/2″ wide corner bracket was engineered to add more strength/support to the block by reinforcing the corner once the wall is built to
Radius Block
The Radius Block is a specialty block used to build curved walls. These pre-molded blocks are 16″ long, allowing the designer the opportunity to build a curved wall section in any length needed. Available current radiuses are 5′, 6′, 7′, 8′, 9′, and 10′ only with a 6″ concrete core width. Ordering these radius blocks is a special order.
Taper Top Block
The Taper-Top Block typically makes up 1-2% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. 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. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that make up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Taper-Top Blocks are typically used at the top of the wall where the width
Curb Block
There has always been a need for a block that can create a ledge to support floor systems within the wall without limiting course heights. The Fox Blocks team has solved this by adding an extra attachment point within the tie. This patent pending solution allows you to form a curb with the block to support whatever you need to support. Curb block uses: hollowcore, precast, dimensional wood floors, engineered wood floors, truss floors, brick, garage slabs, creating recesses, hambro floors, and pan deck.
Brick-Ledge Block
The Corbel Ledge Block typically makes up 1-2% of the ICF wall assembly on most residential and commercial jobs. 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. These ties secure the two pieces of modified Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam together that makes up each block type. The blocks are stacked tightly together and inter-locked end to end to the desired wall length. Corbel Ledge Blocks are typically used at the top of the wall to support other adjacent lateral loads (i.e., masonry veneer loads, floor joist loads, etc.). Once a single layer or course of Corbel Ledge Blocks is installed, horizontal reinforcing steel bars are inter-locked securely together in the ties of the blocks, in the main core and the extended ledge core. The Fox Blocks xLerator reinforcement is designed to be placed in the top of the of Corbel Ledge Block to provide engineered reinforcement for the corbel.After the concrete is poured/cured, the Corbel Ledge Block can support a 25′ tall masonry wall.
