What kind of footings/foundation is required to build with APEX Block?
All finishes must be installed according to the requirements of the IBC and/or your local requirements. An inherent and distinct advantage of incorporating recycled EPS to make APEX Blocks, is that our blocks yield a coarse and adherable surface that allows finishes to be applied directly to the block without having to require mesh and/or “chicken wire”. Drywall, plaster, stucco, rock, or brick veneer and other similar applications become a two-step process vs. a four-step process. Below grade walls require standard water-proofing techniques applied in accordance with IBC Section 1806 or IRC Section R406.
