I have a concrete block house in SW florida. I have two bump-outs on my house that are wood 2x4 construction with wood t1-11 type siding. The siding is in need of replacement which I could easily do.
We get hurricanes here and the wood bumpouts are not very strong. I really don't know why they did that in the 70s-90s. They are literally the only part that rots away and fails these houses. Seems like a stupid compramise...
With that being said, I would like to replace them widh ICF with either a 4" or 6" core. My only concern is how do I attach it to the existing concrete block. Also, what ICF block company would you guys suggest?
If ICF ends up being a bad idea, I will likely just lay cement block and insulate with 2" foamboard on the inside and stucco the outside.
I am hoping to squeeze this project in before the hurricanes come. That way I don't have to be so quick to evacuate. |
