Fox block VS Buildblock - GreenBuildingTalk - GreenBuildingTalk
Mar 21, 2012 · Welcome to the world of ICF's. The sales mechanism these companies use is retarded so used ICF blocks rarely have any resale value. If you can find used ICF's locally, you won the lotto. The cost of shipping one block or the other to your site may be as much as purchasing the block itself. Everything about ICF's adheres to the concept of ...
ICF Price per Block - GreenBuildingTalk - GreenBuildingTalk
Jan 30, 2017 · The blocks and ties themselves are pretty tough and appear to take the CC without a hint of failure. the markings on the blocks make hand cutting layout easy(did some mitered corners to save on excess corners ordered), they run thru the table saw fairly easily.
Why is Fox Block cost so low? - GreenBuildingTalk
Nov 12, 2008 · Why are the Fox Blocks so much cheaper than others? I know their advertised prices don't include the price of shipping. I also understand that not all blocks are created equally. IN the past I have used the owens corning product. In my opinion Buildblock, Logix, etc have better products, but the owens product worked just fine.
Fox Blocks Experience? - GreenBuildingTalk - GreenBuildingTalk
Apr 20, 2009 · I would very much like to see all the forms side by side at a show or something. I would like to compare GreenBlock, Fox Blocks, PolySteel, Quad-Lock, and Logix. arkie: I've noticed the difference between different companies. Fox Block uses II EPS with the 1.5. I think Quad-Lock uses IX EPS.
Strip ICF Insulation? Strip ICF Forms? Strip ICF Foam?
Apr 9, 2015 · This discussion has been very helpful to me as per ICF and forming walls for my project. Looks like conventional plywood forms for inner walls is the way to go. But for exterior walls I back at drawing board. I am still very interested to see what a Fox Blocks or similar double sided ICF wall would look like stripped of foam.
ICF Transition from 8" to 6" block? - GreenBuildingTalk ...
Apr 20, 2017 · I placed my 12" ledgers a few inches above the top of the 8" blocks. I did this to maintain an 8' ceiling in the basement. I went 7 courses of 6" block, resulting in about 9-1/2' ceilings on the main floor. For electrical, I cut an access hole in the basement, right below the ledger, and directly below the outlet opening upstairs.
Cost 2x6 hired vs ICF DIY per sq ft? - GreenBuildingTalk
Dec 17, 2014 · With Fox, they won't line up on the outside, so I had to trim the 8" blocks so that the 6" blocks would line up. It shouldn't be that hard to modify an existing plan for ICF. Bear in mind that the exterior walls are a lot thicker than conventional stick framing, so you will want to be careful of room sizes and window placements.
Using ICF's for a crawl space, conventional framing above
Oct 6, 2008 · if it is going to be a conditioned crawl space then you will need to install foam on the interior any way if your in a cold weather climate . with icfs you have 2 1/2 '' of foam on the interior and exterior so the concrete doesn't have direct contact with 4' of frost in the winter so it will cost less to condition that space , around here it would cost approx. 40.00 per lf to have a 4' pan ...
What are your thoughts on Nudura??? (good and bad)
Feb 16, 2009 · NUDURA is a great ICF we have used tens of thousand sf, but only one house in the past year. It was the best value for me in 2005 and 2006. Flippable is a plus, the folding is a plus but I think I get a straight wall easier with a rigid block.
