Abstract
A foundation sill screed with a vertical flange having a top end and a bottom end and a thickness that is tapered from a minimum at the top end to a maximum at the bottom end. The foundation sill screed includes a first leg extending downwardly and outwardly from the bottom end of the vertical flange, a second leg extending downwardly and inwardly from the stucco ledge, and a lip extending downwardly and inwardly from the inwardly extending member. The foundation sill screed includes a floor line alignment guide extending longitudinally along the vertical flange to provide accurate positioning of the foundation sill screed with respect to the sill plate of a building in order to properly protect the sill plate against moisture penetration and pest infestation.
