Air barriers have emerged as a key component of the building enclosure

Project teams must understand that selecting building materials is not something to be taken lightly

Simply put, the primary function of the building envelope is to act as the boundary between the interior and exterior. It must protect the interior from the outside elements, be durable and provide efficient comfort

UV damage is a real issue with real consequences, yet it’s an issue that often gets overlooked. Taking on this challenge, Dörken Systems Inc. introduces DELTA-STRATUS SA – the only self-adhering vapor-permeable air- and water-resistive barrier with a unique fourth layer for added UV protection.

There are several long-standing studies that consider the thermal performance of green roofs

Halo Exterra, a foam board insulation for above-grade exterior insulation applications is also designed to be a water-resistive barrier (which means that no building paper needs to be used).

Technology and innovation that are modern and engaging drove the design and product selection for the Advanced Learning Library in Wichita

Wagner Meters introduces the Rapid RH L6 system, an enhanced version of the Rapid RH system, which consolidates many concrete moisture testing features into a simpler process while featuring advanced technology that makes reporting faster, easier, and more reliable, even in concrete with higher relative humidity.

Infiltration actually poses a greater moisture threat to building envelopes than vapor diffusion

DuPont Safety & Construction announced the release of the DuPont Tyvek DrainVent Rainscreen to provide advanced protection against moisture damage in exterior wall systems.
