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.

What makes Fox Blocks stand out in comparison to traditional concrete forming is the continuous double layer of insulation on both the inside and outside, the absence of thermal bridging, and the limited air infiltration through the solid concrete walls. These features place Fox Blocks walls in the high-performance category for wall assemblies. When combined with energy-efficient windows, doors, and roof insulation, homes built with Fox Blocks can easily meet or surpass energy code requirements, going beyond the minimum standards for certifications like Energy Star and EnerGuide.

The practical result of all these features is that a building made with Fox Blocks requires 44% less energy for heating and 32% less energy for cooling compared to traditional structures. In simpler terms, it's an energy-efficient choice that can save you money on heating and cooling costs!
