Mulberry View Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I've got ICF Supplies coming soon to do our on-site setting out session. Their guys seem to all have a slightly different view on the best way to lay the first course, these seem to be the options... 1. Using Timber fixed to the foundations as a guide 2. Metal Channel fixed down to locate the inner face into 3. Bedded in Mortar 4. Nothing at all How did you do yours? Pics would be an added bonus.

PeterW Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 What is in the Manufacturers Instructions..?? That is what you need to follow to get the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite that straight-forward. The blocks can technically be laid directly on top of the concrete foundations, the other measures are for convenience/accuracy or whatever. I don't believe the warranty will depend on what was used to align the bottom course of blocks, there is seemingly more than one way to skin the proverbial cat. In the case of Timber, this is, I understand, fixed down in a fashion enabling the blocks to be laid in a nice straight line and allow the building to be levelled and temporarily fixed whilst the concrete is poured, removed afterwards. I like this idea, but wanted to see what others have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
