New connector is a ‘game-changer’ for high-rise noise mitigation
March 12, 2025
ClarkDietrich will introduce a new product designed to accommodate omnidirectional displacement and mitigate noise associated with the movement of steel framing members at the BUILD25 Convention and Expo (Booth #401).
The rise of combustible insulation materials prompted the development of NFPA 285 in the late 1900s to specifically address concerns about wall assemblies containing combustible components.
Sto Corp. announced the launch of StoVentec Fiber Cement Rainscreen System, a complete ventilated rainscreen cladding system that blends sustainability, design freedom, and performance.
Mr. Kuebler brings to his new position over 40 years of experience in the building materials industry and more than eight years of leadership within the group.
The project’s architect, R2L Architects, required an exterior cladding material that would create a visually captivating façade while also delivering design flexibility and an expedited construction schedule.
Effective weatherization techniques are critical to keeping out air and moisture to preserve longevity, ensure energy efficiency, and promote indoor air quality.
On-Demand Low-slope roof design includes decisions that incorporate building design parameters, roof system components, and attachment methods. This presentation will provide the knowledge required to formulate the best design for your next roofing project.
On-Demand In this presentation, we will cover exactly what can be expected of PVC roof membranes and the differences among PVC, PVC-KEE and TPO. This will lead to an in-depth discussion of which projects benefit most from the unique properties of PVC and PVC-KEE membranes, including specific case studies.
On-Demand This course explores six key concepts that can impact Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings in wall assemblies, enabling the achievement of desired acoustic outcomes.
On-Demand This program will provide an overview of the roofing-related changes contained in the International Building Code, 2024 Edition. The newest edition to the building code incorporates notable changes in design wind load, occupiable rooftop, rooftop-mounted PV and reroofing provisions. Designers need to be aware of these changes and account for them in their designs.
On-Demand This presentation will cover a detailed explanation of the challenges and solutions facing through-wall flashings and transition membranes, provide a thorough description of the characteristics of several types of membranes, emphasize the importance of compatibility, and explain proper installation techniques.
On-Demand In this webinar, we will review code requirements and air barrier options for enclosure projects, share observed trends in the industry, and highlight common mistakes in designing and constructing air barrier systems. We will also share recommended approaches for designing and testing air barrier products and systems to help stakeholders avoid problems with air infiltration once the building is in service.
On-Demand This webinar aims to equip you with the insights needed to make informed choices between air/vapor barriers and permeable vapor retarders for low-slope roofing, enhancing your proficiency in creating resilient and sustainable building envelopes.
On-Demand Join us as we showcase different projects and how they have successfully implemented tapered design into their roof assemblies through iterative design and specific language in their specification.
On-Demand This webinar will introduce and share recent updates to the AISI Code of Standard Practice (COSP), discuss the contents of the COSP as it applies to a typical CFS project, and answer participant questions by way of an expert in both CFS design and CFS project management.
On-Demand The science of buildings and how they perform is not often a focus during school, but can become a specialty in practice. Topics such as vapor movement, a robust thermal envelope and condensation prevention are ones that cause issues in many buildings.
