Building airtightness continues to grow as a design consideration or requirement in most modern building designs. However, due to the complex nature of architectural design, building components, system options, involvement of multiple trades, and the pace of modern construction, achieving airtightness in a building is often easier said than done. 

Sto Corp. launched StoGuard Conformable Membrane, a self-adhered membrane used within StoGuard air and water-resistive barrier systems.

The Zero•Net PW2500 pressure curtain wall system takes traditional curtain wall design and incorporates our FortMax patented thermal barrier to provide industry-leading performance.

The Canadian Construction Materials Centre recently added the new TYPAR Construction Tape to its list of approved products, making the complete TYPAR Weather Protection System now available to the Canadian market.

Since it was created in the 1970s, continuous insulation continues to serve as a high-performance solution for both residential and commercial construction that must adhere to changing, more rigorous code requirements.

The type of cladding material chosen for a project not only affects the building’s overall aesthetic, it also plays a central role in how the rest of wall system should be designed to best protect the structure from the elements.

Continuous insulation is the last (and most important) line of defense when it comes to keeping heat inside a structure. 

How breakthroughs in weather-resistant barriers can improve occupant well-being in all climates.
