In this video I'm showing the best practice way to seal the bottom plates of a home built on a concrete slab. You'll see a Carlyle through wall flashing with a water based primer. - Matt Risinger Principle of Risinger Homes an Austin, Texas based High Performance Green Builder & Remodeler www.risingerhomes.com
@RCVSEAN This is a slab foundation so this is really a best practice for water intrusion and air penetration. In our Hot/Humid climate I prefer to use open cell foam so the house can dry to the inside. We mainly air condition our homes so moisture can dry to the inside and open cell foam allows that moisture to transfer to the inside. Hope that helps, Matt

Would the the thru the wall flashing be ok with a closed cell foam insulated rim joist? Looks like a great treatment just worried about having a dry side. thanks
