E-Z blocks weigh approximately 9 lbs. per square foot, cured weight.

E-Z blocks can be waterproofed as if they were a regular concrete wall. Bitumen or tar can be applied onto the clean blocks with a simple roller, or sprayed on.

If you plan on using drywall in the interior rather than plaster, you must attach furring strips to the block before or after filling them.

Very well. The blocks are a cement based product, which makes them ideal for direct application of stucco or plaster. In addition, the surface of the block is minutely grooved, creating additional surface area for a solid bond. Finally, the block surface has been embedded with fibers for permanent stucco adherence. In essence, the stucco becomes part of the block upon application.

E-Z blocks are made primarily of cement and entrapped air. Other additives are proprietary.

Any cutting of the blocks can be accomplished by a simple hand saw. To create a smooth, perfect curve, a rasp can be purchased or made.

Yes. ICF stands for Insulating Concrete Form. Though most ICF’s are made from expanded polystyrene, there are exceptions, including E-Z Block. E-Z Block’s shape is also different than most other ICF’s. E-Z Blocks make a concrete structure called a screen grid pattern, while most make what is called a flat wall. However, the same section of residential code that deals with flat wall construction deals with screen grid construction.
