| I am looking for options for siding on ICF forms. These are solid foam with
no nailers on them. Do any of you have any info for me? We are looking at
some type of rock which may be cultured or not. What do I need to install to
attach this to the foam and how? Thank you.

| Are you stuck with Reddiform... there are over 60 different brands of ICF on
the market in various stages of sophistication and technological
advancement. You might consider looking at NUDURA ICF which has plastic
furring strips (studs) build into them that run from top to bottom. see
www.futurestone.com or www.nudura.com

| The manufacturer should be able to tell you. If not, you need a
different brand![color=darkred]

Rediform has plastic strips that you put in while assembling to attach
to. The run horizanol[sp] I believe they are either 8' or 10' strips.

No nailers? That doesn't seem right, you need somethign to fasten
just about every exterior and interior finish. On the page: <http://
www.reddiform.com/product.htm> about 1/3 of the way down it says
something about optional plastic fastening strips.
Polysteel uses metal strapping on 6" centers, will hold just about any
fastener.
I believe I'd shop a bit more if it were me....
