EE RAIL INSTALLATION BASICS
Alignment of EnergyEdge System with wall systems: Verify alignment of face of slab with building wall system dimen-
sion. For EE “MB” rail, offset additional 1 1/2” for bearing requirements.
GENERAL STEPS:
1. CORNERS & TRANSITIONS: Locate, Level & Secure corners & transitions. Leave 1/4”-1/2” space at joints to
allow for product expansion.
2. STRAIGHT RUNS: Install full lengths of EE rails from each corner and transition point. Level and secure each end
of EE rail first then level and secure at kicker locations.
3. CUT CONNECTING EE RAIL. Cut only last EE rail to complete run.
4.
SLAB PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
 Fairly stiff slump is recommended
 Do not pour concrete directly on top of EE rails
 Pull concrete into EE system & tap exterior face of rail for maximum encasement– DO NOT VIBRATE
 Utilize the smooth screeding surface provided by EE rails for efficiency
 Remove all external supports (stakes, kickers, & forms) after placement & finishing for re-use
EE RAILS REMAIN IN PLACE– DO NOT REMOVE
 EE rails complete the transition from the foundation to wall insulation systems.
 Backfill per code requirements—do not allow machinery to come in contact with EE product as it may break/crack.
 EE rails can be finished if desired.
 Alert additional crews to finished edge, additional protection may be required during construction phases.
OPTION 2: EE RAILS AS A FORM LINER
If preferred, traditional forming lumber may be utilized
and EE rails can be screwed to the inside face of the
lumber. For EE “FB” rails, set traditional forms as usual.
For EE “MB” rails, offset forms by 1 1/2”. Traditional
forms must be vertical for alignment purposes.
OPTION 1: TRADITIONAL STAKE & KICKERS
Traditional stake & kicker methods can be utilized with the EE rail simply replacing the
forming lumber. Screw the kickers into the face of the EE rail , use a finish nail from the
inside of the form to allow for easy form removal or loop a wire through the brace and stake.
