INSTALLATION STEPS:
STEP 1
Separate Curb Block bundles and set
aside until needed. You can identify the
Curb Block by the green ties.
STEP 2
Decide where you need the concrete
shelf elevation to land and either mark
and rip-cut the block with a circular saw
or set a fence on a table saw and make
your cut. Finish cut by cutting the tie
with a handsaw.
STEP 3
Attach forming to the Curb Block
inner ties. Simply screw two #8
coarse threaded screws to each tie
to withstand concrete pressure. Fox
Blocks recommends the use of 1/2"
or thicker plywood or equivalent.
STEP 4
Place concrete as normal. For best
results, Fox Blocks recommends
properly consolidating entire wall
including Curb Block.
STEP 5
After sufficient curing remove form
boards. You now have a solid concrete
ledge for supporting what you need
supported.
STEP 7
If you need extra support, a taper can
be cut prior to concrete placement to
allow for up to a 6 1/4" ledge.

INSTALLATION & USES
CURB BLOCK USES:
• Hollowcore
• Precast
• Dimensional Wood Floors
• Engineered Wood Floors
• Truss Floors
• Brick
• Garage Slabs
• Creating Recesses (See Below)
• Composite Floor Systems
• Pan Deck
EXAMPLE OF A WALL RECESS
This type of application will be treated as
an opening in the wall and will require extra
reinforcing within the concrete (rebar). The
Curb Block will allow openings up to 22"
in height using two blocks.
WOOD FLOORS
For the real life example above, we cut off
6" from the left side, turned the cut-off over
and connected to the right side creating a 12"
curb. This works well with wood floors, giving
you ultra strength without any concerns of
moisture in the future.
