This prevents movement of the forms during concrete placement and concrete leakage during a pour. Fox Blocks' uniquely clever design helps speed construction with:

  • • Easy-to-use reversible, pre-assembled blocks. 
    • Exceptionally strong ties.
    • Special corner brackets for additional strength and easy application of veneer finishes.

Fox Blocks offers a 100% recyclable product; both the polypropylene plastic webs and the expanded polystyrene foam panels can be completely diverted from landfill. Fox Blocks contain 100% post industrial Pre-Consumer recycled high density polypropylene webs as the structural skeleton of the form. and do not contain HCFC, CFC, or Formaldehydes of any kind. Fox Blocks is stable and inert.
