Siga Tape | Sealing Walls to Foundation

I absolutely love the Siga tape. Matt Risinger was the builder than first introduced me to it. I use Siga Fentrim for exterior sheathing to foundation, Siga Wigluv to tape sheathing seams, Siga Corvum and Fentrim IS for interior window and door air sealing, and Siga Rissan for interior wall to foundation sealing. Overall, exceptional adhesion. However, I am still very old-fashioned about my builds. I do not think that anything will beat the longevity of copper in terms of water barrier. After taping the seams on out outside, I would always install copper flashing. Nail, then tape, the flashing to sheathing, and then proceed with installing brick or siding. After many decades, as the adhesive starts to degrade, you will always have the copper there to protect the home. Just my two cents for a 100+ year-old home.

Beautiful! The Siga tape is exactly what I was looking for for sealing off where the OSB sheathing comes down to my cinder block foundation.

is sill plate flushed with the outside of foundation wall? thanks

They could have just used Zip R and avoided the need for all those cap fasteners 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
