Crap, this is the reply I got back from the Thermo-Snap rep. Well, looks like he was out for my best interest and not a sale. Kudos to him and his company.
I guess I need to ask around what to use or can that idea.
His reply.
Todd,
Thanks for your inquiry about Thermo-Snap by Benchmark Foam. Full disclosure, according to IRC Building Code, the entire state of Georgia is considered "Very Heavy Termite infestation probability."
The below statement is taken directly from the Code.
R318.4 Foam Plastic Protection
In areas where the probability of termite infestation is "very heavy" as indicated in Figure R301.2(6), extruded and expanded polystyrene, polyisocyanurate and other foam plastics shall not be installed on the exterior face or under interior or exterior foundation walls or slab foundations located below grade. The clearance between foam plastics installed above grade and exposed earth shall be not less than 6 inches (152 mm).
Now I am not trying to discourage you from any building methods you want to try, but I want to have everything up front.
If you are still interested in pricing, we would sell you directly but we would need to calculate a freight rate down to you.
Which zip code would this be shipping to??
Is this a commercial, residential, or job site address?
What kind of equipment is on hand to unload?
If you can get back directly to me with those answers, I can calculate all in pricing with freight included.
Once again, thanks for your interest in Thermo-Snap and let me know if you have any questions.
