While constructing his new home, Cliffton Brady used foam to create custom brick textures for the exterior walls using Hot Wire Foam Factory tools, then coated them with Exterior Foam Coat for impact and weather protection as well as a rough stone-like texture. He was able to create two distinct styles of brick patterns, one more uniform and another with varying sizes.
