Garage door detail on FPSF

tmike69 | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

Doing a FPSF w/ an attached garage(heated) in zone 5a. Does anybody have a good detail for an overhead garage door where it contacts the slab? Have a few ideas in mind, but need something that will last. That is one nasty thermal bridge to contend with….

    Todd,
    I second John's suggestion. After you read through all the comments on the two threads that John linked to, you can post any further questions here.
