Cladding ICF


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

I want to put a 500mm high plinth of split faced slate around the bottom of my ICF property. I have been told that the correct way for this, is to fit a cement board first and then an adhesive to the board to bond the slate.

 

Has anyone done this or knows what adhesive is best.

 

Thanks.

On the TF house I built I had a plinth clad in brick slips on cement board. Around the porch there wasn't a plinth but I clad the foundations EPS upstand with two rows of brick slips just glued to the EPS using Titebond PU gel glue. We didn't have a problem for the five years before we moved.

I've spoken with STS (which specialise in slip cladding). They have advised to fix battens to the ICF, then a render board to the battens. I can then use a brick slip mortar for bonding the slate.

 

I'll try that Titebond adhesive first, directly to the polystyrene on a small section and see how that holds up.

 

What timber cladding is that on your house?

I have two areas of my property that needs cladding with timber. How much was it and where did you buy it from?

It was a local timber yard that supplied it, but it was several years ago now. At the time I got quotes from all the internet suppliers and the local place was competitive and would supply all 4.8m lengths rather than a mixture of lengths.
