Strategy for attaching rigid foam on exterior of brick facade
I am looking for the best way to attach either rigid foam or Roxul Comfortboard to the exterior of a brick facade as part of a deep energy retrofit. The first level has brick facade and second level, vinyl siding. Anyone have experience with this?

Joel,
EIFS contractors use adhesive, as far as I know. You might want to contact an EIFS contractor.
For Roxul mineral wool, I think you would need to use masonry fasteners (either Tapcons or Hilti IDP fasteners). These fasteners require you to drill holes in the mortar or the bricks, so you'll need a masonry bit and a hammer drill.
