I first saw this product reviewed on “the build show”. Looks easy enough to install and appears quite effective.
Now considering we are dealing with cracks between every ICF build block, shouldn’t we apply the crack sealer to literally every seam? Seems like a good idea at least below grade.
You mention that the poly wall in an ideal case will never have to deal with water. Which makes me think that a wrap around covered porch but perhaps even a deck should keep most water away from the wall. Essentially even leaving the French drain dry.

ICF and poly wall are my products of choice for my future cabin build.

Should the arroyo board be protected with something before backfill?

Should the membrane be used above grade all the way up, or could blue 2300 or 2400 be used above grade or is it not recommended for ICF? If it is also good, is there a cost difference to consider? Thanks

Will this system work with the formadrain system

[terryturcotte]

Is this stuff termite resistant if used above grade on a slab on grade situation?

[rickylabrecque]

What’s the cost difference between the BuildBlock brand system that is basically the same and the poly wall system?

It’s literally impossible to find this primer product online. Icf companies that sell polywall don’t even carry it. Without the primer the barrier doesn’t even stick at all. So much for “peel and stick”. A crap product.

This seems like total overkill, especially considering most ICF is closed cell foam

What a pain. Why not just use the spray on system, attach the dimple board and you're done....
