Claims29
A system for insulation of building foundations, comprising:
- at least one insulation board comprising an insulation board substrate having a pre-applied scrim on at least a portion of a first face of said at least one insulation board substrate;
- and
- a coating, wherein:
- said at least one insulation board is disposed for installing on a building foundation such that said at least one insulation board covers at least a portion of the building foundation above a grade line;
- and
- said coating is disposed for applying to said first face of said insulation board substrate such that said coating provides waterproofing properties to said system.

A method for providing aboveground insulation, comprising:
- applying insulating boards to cover at least a portion of the aboveground portion of a building foundation;
- and
- coating said insulating boards with an elastomeric coating after said insulating boards have been applied to said foundation.
A method for providing aboveground insulation, comprising:
- applying a plurality of insulating boards each having a first face, a second face, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pre-applied scrim on said first face to a building foundation such that said second face of each of said plurality of insulating boards is proximate to said building foundation, and such that said plurality of insulating boards covers said foundation from at least proximate to a grade line of said foundation to proximate a sill plate of said building foundation;
- fastening said insulating board proximate to said bottom edge to said foundation with a plurality of fasteners;
- applying mesh tape to said top edge of said insulating boards such that at least a portion of said mesh tape at said top edge of said boards contact one of said sill plate and a band board installed to said sill plate;
- fastening said mesh tape to said sill plate or said band board with a plurality of fasteners;
- and
- applying a coating over said insulating boards and said mesh tape.
