Sill seal and termite shield (SSTS) devices are disclosed. The SSTS
devices for residential housing are shown for poured concrete, masonry
block, and frost protected shallow foundations. The polymeric foam pad of
the SSTS device seals the rough surface atop the foundation wall. For the
termite shield function, the SSTS devices use a metallic web--either of
foil or of an impenetrable screen--or a nonmetallic web--either of
plastic sheet or of impenetrable scrim. The termite shield or barrier
layer is shown as adjacent to a weatherproofing membrane or as an
interior layer of an polymeric laminate weatherproofing membrane. Hot
melt adhesives attach the foam pad to the weatherproofing membrane and,
where applicable, the barrier layer to the weatherproofing membrane.
Pressure-activated, hot melt adhesives attach the SSTS device to the sill
plate. A release sheet is applied forming a peel-and-stick device.
