EnergyEdge, EE8mb rail profile for “ISOLATED CURB” ASSEMBLY |
|
|
1a. EnergyEdge (EE) Perimeter Rail: EE8mb profile, 12’ length typical. 90 and 45 degree connection members are available for easy and accurate installation. 1b. Alignment of EnergyEdge System dependent of placement of 2x wood forming materials. See Section 2. Verify dimensions of face of slab with building wall system dimension. 1c. Install EE systems: FIRST locating and leveling corner members; SECOND Install full lengths of rail systems from each end of straight runs, leveling each end of material first followed by remaining “spaced” braces or supports next; THIRD, continue process to center of each straight run cutting only last member to fit. |

INSTALLATION of FOUNDATION & PERIMETER WOOD FORM MATERIALS |
|
|
2a. Foundations are typically rough “trench” type foundations, minimum 10” wide, depth generally to local frost depth. 2b. Foundations are poured with insulation material most commonly place to the inside of the trench. 2c. 2x wood forming material is used to frame the perimeter of the slab. Form is installed to provide a straight surface. Exterior stake & kicker assemblies as required at edge of foundation 2d. Wood forming material is installed “slightly” higher than the slab elevation allowing for “chalk line” leveling line for installation of EnergyEdge system inside form boards. 2e. Install cantilevered EnergyEdge isolation assembly inside perimeter wood forms. Align top to EE8sb brace with chalk-line. Mechanically fasten system through face of perimeter forming into nailing block attached to EE8sb support brace. |

PLACEMENT OF SLAB CONCRETE FOR “FROST ISOLATION” ASSEMBLY |
|
|
3a. Placement of 5” wide (nominal) bearing curb at perimeter and continuation of concrete for remainder of slab in one pour is possible because the EErail system stays in place, providing protection to the insulation during and after concrete installation. 3b. Place rigid board insulation material between inside of EErail and insulation poured inside concrete foundation. 3c. Continuous 2x2 treated wood provides thermal break at surface of assembly and “bridging member” stabilizing butt joints of EE8mb rails. This wood member also acts as a perimeter connection plate for carpet tack strips. 3d. EnergyEdge cantilevered curb isolation assembly.
