  • Air and moisture barrier laminate apparatus
    Patent number: 6676779
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing an air and moisture barrier laminate for sealing the interface between a sill plate and a foundation wall. The resulting laminate includes a compressible spacer material for placement between the top of a foundation wall and the bottom of a sill plate upon construction of a framed structure. Interconnected to a surface of the spacer material is an adhesive layer that may be selectively adhered to the foundation wall's top surface. The adhesive layer is operative to both securely attach the spacer material to the foundation wall to facilitate placement of the sill plate and to seal voids between the spacer material and the foundation wall. In a further embodiment, the laminate contains a second adhesive layer to seal the interface between the side surfaces of the foundation wall and the sill plate.
