Type 1 EE Installation– General Overview
EnergyEdge and EnergyFlash are trademark and patent pending in the United States and Canada
FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
 Foundations should be poured with below grade insulation material on the outside of the foundation wall.
DETAIL OF INSTALLED EE SYSTEM:
Assembly Members:
(5) 8” Thickened edge concrete slab
5a. EnergyEdge rail (EE rail) with insulation
(2 profiles– mb or fb-shown)
5b. EnergyEdge brace (EE brace) see spacing requirements
(6) Monolithic foundation
6a Foundation insulation material by others
6b. Perimeter rebar & anchor systems as required by plans.
(7) Wall system at slab edge, varies.
7a. Anchor bolts for 2x wood plate if applicable
TYPE 1 FOUNDATION
EnergyEdge rails (EE rails) can be used as the concrete form with a kicker system or as a form
liner. EnergyEdge braces (EE braces) should be used as rail connectors, occur within 18" of
the joint or corner and 36" on-center thereafter. Rails should be laid corners first and straight
runs last- minimizing cutting to the middle rail completing the run. Align, level and
mechanically secure the rails to the kickers with screws on the exterior face of the rail. After
the concrete has been poured and finished, screws may by backed out of the rails and kickers
removed. EnergyEdge products remain in place, leaving a finished and insulated edge.
SECURE EE BRACES INTO THE EE RAILS:
 Insure EE braces are securely set in both the top and bottom channels.
 Install EE braces PRIOR to installation of EE rails.
 Use rubber mallet to set, it may take two strikes to set both top and bottom
knobs of EE brace into EE rail channel.
 EE Braces align & connect EE rails, function as rebar supports, & as
anchors into the concrete.
