Fox Buck is a wall opening block-out or buck system designed to integrate into wall systems constructed of Fox Block Insulating Concrete Foams (Fox Block ICF). It is designed as an opening buck to provide increased thermal resistance and adhesion of stucco finishes. It has an integrated polypropylene web structure for fastening. It is available in the following sizes:
- 4”, 6”, 8”, 10” and 12” Panels
