ICF Wall system with Brick veneer – Full brick or Thin brick?
user-693815
| Posted in Green Products and Materials on
I have a 2-story ICF showcase home we are building in Central Florida. My gut tells me thin brick is the better route. Unfortunately, I must be the first builder in CF to build with brick over ICF and have no details from the architect or manufacturer specific to ICF with brick. The biggest problems to solve are figuring out the details around doors and windows and where the first floor roof deck hits the 2nd story ICF wall…any comments?

Greg,
Your first step should be to contact your ICF supplier or manufacturer. Most ICF manufacturers have technical manuals that include details for a variety of siding types.
For example, below is a detail for brick veneer over ICFs; the detail comes from Plastifab (http://www.plastifab.com/applications/advantageicf/docs/advantage_ICFSystem_technical_manual.pdf). I know that this detail doesn't answer your questions, but it is an example of what is available from an ICF manufacturer.
