About Arxx

Arxx is a provider of building products, specializing in Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) for residential and commercial construction. The company's core product is a wall system consisting of lightweight, rigid foam insulation blocks that are stacked and locked together. These forms are then filled with steel-reinforced concrete, creating a solid, monolithic wall structure sandwiched between two continuous layers of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

This construction method offers several benefits over traditional building techniques. The combination of concrete's thermal mass and the EPS insulation results in high energy efficiency, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs and achieving insulation values equivalent to R-50. The solid concrete core also provides superior strength, durability, and resistance to natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as enhanced soundproofing and fire resistance. Arxx's system is designed for quick and cost-effective installation and can be used for foundations, basements, and exterior walls of varying heights and shapes.

The company originated in the late 1980s and has gone through several transformations, including a merger with Apex Construction Systems in the late 2000s to broaden its offerings in the green building sector. In 2014, Arxx was acquired by Airlite Plastics. The company markets its products to architects, developers, contractors, and homeowners across North America, positioning itself as a provider of green building envelope solutions.
