@builderbrigade: ✅The Ultimate Home Building Checklist on my site #BuilderBrigade ✅ ✅ When your house is being framed, some framers will put a foam strip to seal the bottom plate (or sill plate) from the outside to reduce airflow and bug intrusion. Some use other products to seal the bottom of the wall to the floor. Products like foam, sealant similar to caulking, or even tape on the outside OSB sheathing. #BuilderBrigade #homebuildingtips #homebuilding #customHome #newhome #newhomeconstruction #homedesign #homeinterior #homeinspiration #homesofinstagram #homeinspo #customhomes #housetour #newconstruction #newconstructionhomes #homeplans #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #construction #buildingahouse #realestatetips #buildingscience #homesealing #framing #houseframing

We used a sill gasket to keep lumber from touching slab. Debating on sealing, I don’t want to trap moisture.

Ethafoam under the bottom plate is the best. The weight of the wall completely crushes & cuts the air and bugs completely. Best option

You should put that gasket under the wall. It's to keep moisture from the concrete going into the wood.

Sill gasket. Then seal the outside and inside with acoustical seal. Also good to use butyl flashing tape around the outside.
