Preventing and combating moisture damage to a structure is one of the oldest dilemmas in the building industry

New rFOIL Ultra White 2600 Series is the only metal building insulation with a 10-year UV degradation warranty on material flaking and labor cost.

Selling points for better air sealing and continuous insulation include increased comfort and long-term durability with a decrease in operating costs from heating and cooling

In the last few years a lot of attention has been placed on the proper installation of continuous insulation in buildings

Dörken Systems Inc. introduced a new WRB and air barrier solution for open-joint cladding systems that meets the industry’s most stringent standards.

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

More stringent building codes, advances in building science and building owners’ desire for more comfortable environments are driving increased interest in the role of continuous insulation

Air within the envelope of a building is subject to air infiltration, exfiltration and the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation

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

The building’s problem was a lack of insulation. There was virtually no insulation on the exterior concrete walls or the roof deck, so heat and air were escaping
