How did you thermal break the slab at the garage doors?

So why overkill the foam density? Foamular 250 is 25psi which is 3600 PSF, still overkill, really, yet 1/2 the cost of higher density 40 psi board.

Sorry for the response to an old post but did you insulate around your sump pump(s)? I plan to use some sort of foam stripping like a thick sill seal. Just curious what you did. Didin't see it listed anywhere...

Ok I poured the footings today for mine. Getting close. I think I will separate the garage slab and apron completely with foam (no 2" overpour) and use epoxy over the top or a sealant to make that transition on top of the foam more durable and water/insect resistant. I'd appreciate any last...

Anyone have ny input on this?

how is that holding up? I'm about to do mine and would appreciate it...

Can you share how this has been working out for you?

This is what he says: The best method I've come up with is to run 2" rigid insulation around the inside of the foundation and continue it right across the garage door openings. You then pour a concrete apron 2-3' out from the slab edge over the top of the foundation wall. You can either bevel...

I am having a home built. The architect (Chicago area home) put this together for the detail where the garage floor slab is tied into the foundation/footing and extends out pas the door. The pour, if I were to place a piece of foam under the door, would require another visit from the concrete...

Interesting concept alleviating any need to deal with the thermal break. Any other comments on this? I was wondering, if a thermal break is still desired, since the concrete should be poured running out to the front of the garage foundation, is it possible to place a piece of foam vertically...
