Currently planning upcoming work tasks and thinking about how to handle the diffusion plastic where the wooden structure meets the concrete (the footing) and the leca wall (basement floor)?

Found a thread about tape where T-Flex and its German equivalent are discussed http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggmaterial-byggteknik/42598-tejp-till-tatning-av-angsparr.html, but is that the right approach or should it be glued with something like butyl adhesive?
I have built with 300mm leca and the wooden frame consists of 220 studs.
The plan is to place the plastic on the studs and then use 45*45 for an installation layer. Then I might have to reinforce and possibly use a 45mm steel stud in the spaces where the wall transitions between the leca wall and the wooden frame.

Wooden frame structure in progress on a concrete base, surrounded by trees. Building materials and equipment are scattered around the site.

I usually use Butylfog for that. It doesn't dry and become hard like other sealants.

I thought I had read that somewhere... It may not adhere perfectly to the concrete, but it should stick to wood, at least according to the installation instructions for T-Flex.
 
Time to follow up on a previous question with an answer from T-emballage since I use their system. The answer was as follows:
"Against Leca or other concrete, it is recommended to prime with asphalt primer Katepal K-80. Once it is dry, clamp T-Tät with the most suitable Double-sided Joint Tape butyl. Against wood etc., priming is not needed."

So, butyl sealant isn't completely wrong...
 
No, I've tried butyl tape and it's not very easy to work with. That's why I use butyl sealant. It's relatively cheap as well.
