Fold-Forms do not compare with "premium" ICFs. Check into local distributors, BuildBlock and Fox Block. You want an ICF that has at least 2.5" EPS each side, full height ties/attachment points and preferably flippable.

If you are considering all stucco and masonry exterior consider composite ICFs.

With lap siding you should go with a premium ICF.
