FoxBlocks® Insulated Concrete Form - Door / Window Buck - 10" Wide

Fox Buck is a fully integrated, continuous insulation window and door buck for residential and commercial applications. The 1″ x 1″ notches create a dual barrier against drafts or moisture penetration. When installed properly, the concrete barrier protection is continuous around the entire opening. These barriers also anchor the Fox Buck to the wall with enough strength for weather events. The buck is 2″ thick for easy measurements and measures 48″ long to match the height of the three stacked Fox Blocks. The buck features a 1- 1/2″ wide “fastening zone” for door and window attachments that runs the full height of the buck every 8″ on center. Notches ensure proper alignment between the buck and the wall form. On the inside, dual full-length 1″ x 1″ grooves create a solid concrete barrier against drafts and moisture. Circles are marked at 16″ centers for sill cutouts and vibrator access. The expanded 2015 Fox Buck product line now includes the 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, and 12″ sizes.

The Fox Buck is a certified, fully integrated, continuous insulation window and door buck for commercial and residential ICF wall openings. Fox Buck completed 3rd party testing and obtained State of Florida product approval (FL 17775) for all of Florida, including MiamiDade counties. To obtain certification and Florida code approval, the Fox Buck met and passed several tests related to wind and impact resistance, moisture and air infiltration, and fire related tests. The Fox Buck can be used in place of pressure treated wood bucks that tend to expand, contract, warp and move within the high moisture climates.
