What are your thoughts on Nudura??? (good and bad)
2009年2月16日 · 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.

ICF blocks for 30 & 60 degree angles? - GreenBuildingTalk ...
2010年12月31日 · I had a bad batch of corner blocks from Buildblock. The corner of each block was on average about 1/8" to 3/16" higher than the ends of the block. The result was that in a stack of 8 to 10 blocks the corner tipped out about 1" to 2" and the stack was about 1" to 1 1/2" higher at the corner than was the adjoining straight wall.
Cutting ICF blocks horizontally - GreenBuildingTalk
2012年7月11日 · I use the same type of blade in my 14" chop saw for cutting the foam to the desired length around windows, doors, etc. Much cleaner and straighter cuts than with a handsaw. Note that my ICF uses separate foam planks and poly ties. This chop saw probably wouldn't work on a pre-made ICF block.
NUDURA Fire Rating? - GreenBuildingTalk - GreenBuildingTalk
2017年7月29日 · Question: How effective are ICF blocks if an internal or external house fire occurs? Nudura says it has a 4 hour fire rating with a 6" concrete core. So, are they assuming the wall is fully compromised in a fire down to the concrete from exposure? Also - are they relying heavily on the sheetrock application for the fire rating?

I agree with ICFconstruction, if you are going to sub out your ICf install, let the contractor decide. If you are going to tackle the install yourself, you will want to answer these questions, which company has a distributor close to you, can they provide tech. support, do they have enough bracing to handle your job, can they help with your permits, answering any questions the …

2006年12月29日 · Mr. Walltech In the opening statements in this forum the ICF block to compare to is Quad Lock block. These blocks are only 12" tall thus increasing the horizontal joints, as compared to your 16" block. I am simply stating the benefits of a block that I recommend.

2016年1月8日 · You have to be careful in handling the blocks. If you bend over one of the 196 nubs on the block the block won't lock together. You just have to be careful. A lot of blocks need wire ties to lock the vertical joints together. not BB. If you want to get an eye opening price. Get one from a Canadian Icf co that manufactures their product up North.
attaching Hardie Plank tp ICF forms - GreenBuildingTalk ...
2013年3月16日 · Screwing finishing materials, e.g., Hardie Board siding, directly to the ICF will compress the foam, distorting the siding noticeably. Power nailing with ring shank nails avoids this problem, but won't have the holding strength of screws. Although a bit more expensive than most block ICF, in all other aspects, I found their system really nice ...
