I was wondering if I should seal/insulate somehow between the top of the foundation and bottom of the framing. The builder used some very thin foam but there is gaps.

Is this gap present between every sheet?

Gaps are not good.

I think you could caulk from inside and out.

There is a product (shown above) that I have seen on Best Built Home on HGTV. It is a thin foam that sits on top of the foundation before the framing starts. It comes in a roll. Does anyone know what it's called as I want to use it when I build?
