I’m guessing that most of the regular readers on this forum are familiar with Joe Lstiburek’s article, “Slab Happy.” If not, you can check it out here:

Regarding the insulated stemwall design, he discusses the need for a capillary break and insect barrier over the foam at the slab edge:

“Now install a strip of waterproofing set in mastic that spans the rigid edge insulation and acts as both a capillary break and an insect barrier.”

Has anyone found a really good product or combination of products for this application? Something that will withstand the rigors of the construction cycle, still do the job afterwards?

Thanks
