Rigid Insulation, Issue 299, June 2021

ts2021 | Posted in General Discussion on

Great article out there about insulation for below grade assemblies. Issue 299, June 2021. By Martin Holladay. 

You lay your rigid Insulation up against the concrete wall with PL300 on top of a sill seal. 

Is it a good practice to leave a gap between the sill seal and rigid board Insulation?  

What about the expansion joint between the slab and concrete wall? Seal it or leave it go ?
