  • What is Foxblocks R Value?

    What is Foxblocks R Value?

    Fox Blocks have a thermal resistance value (R-Value) of R22, However, when considering the insulation's ability to reduce heat loss (thermal bridging) and the impact of the heavy concrete on thermal performance, the overall rating for a Fox Blocks wall assembly is R24. This means it's even more effective than just looking at the insulation alone.

  • The Role of Vapor Barriers in ICF Home Building Performance

    The Role of Vapor Barriers in ICF Home Building Performance

    In most cases, ICF homes may not necessitate a traditional vapor barrier. The thermal mass and insulation provided by the concrete and EPS eliminate the need for additional measures in many climates. However, it's essential to consider local building codes and climate conditions, as well as consulting with a qualified architect or builder.
