ECOMAXci® FR Air Barrier allows for optimum efficiency through multiple design options, ease of construction, a better building envelope and reduced energy usage.
With over 32 exhibitors attending from a range of organizations including associations and manufacturers, the trade show aspect of ABAA’s Building Enclosure Conference allows for a more intimate setting to network with and learn from those who have experienced both successes and failures.
LATICRETE will debut their new color-coordinated profiles and trims while also providing insight and perspective on the state of the tile and stone market, finishes, and more as an exhibitor at Coverings 2024.
The common denominator for today’s design is that one type of material is no longer good enough. Combining multiple aesthetics into the design of a building is the standard rather than the exception. Because the days of monolithic design are long gone, architects are pushing the limits seeking to integrate materials for a modern, sophisticated look.
Dörken Systems Inc. introduced DELTA®-TERRAXX and DELTA®-TERRAXX PLUS, new drainboard systems for horizontal, vertical, and blindside drainage requirements.
To efficiently future-proof the building envelope in light of the new climate reality, taking both into consideration is critical. One vital tool in this effort, though often overlooked, is air and water-resistive barriers (AWBs).
A typical building loses up to 25 percent of its heat through the roof. Industry-leading Elevate roofing and insulation systems by Holcim were thus instrumental in the construction of the world’s largest Passive House-certified office building: the Winthrop Center in Boston.
The Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA), a national trade organization specializing in air barriers, announced the launch of the country’s, first-of-its-kind, Large Building Whole Building Airtightness Program, which includes both certification and training.
Efficiency and durability are also major contributing factors to a building’s sustainability. The roof and exterior building envelope systems are the first line of defense when looking to reduce carbon emissions and energy use, as well as ensure a building can stand the test of time.
