Straight Edge Insulation: Experts in Spray Foam Solutions for Every Property

One of the most commonly abused insulation details in new homes is slab-on-grade perimeter insulation, referred to as “slab-edge” insulation. This insulation is intended to provide thermal protection for occupants and protect against the intrusion of termites from the soil into the home. Unfortunately, this insulation detail is often poorly designed and executed and demonstrates little effect in terms of energy savings or occupant comfort.

A typical construction method for insulating walls with this type of insulation is to insulate the 2×4 wall framing and install a continuous piece of rigid insulation along the bottom of the foundation slab. Alternatively, some builders choose to install a layer of insulation in the concrete block walls themselves, which can be a cost-effective alternative.

A third option for insulating concrete block walls is to use aerated or autoclaved cellular concrete (ACCC) masonry units that contain an insulated core and are surface bonded. ACCC walls offer higher wall R-values than traditional masonry and can help achieve a much more airtight and energy efficient dwelling.
