Erin Andes, Director of Design Outreach, for GAF | Siplast, joined us recently to chat about her upcoming webinar, “Building Science and Life Safety in Wood Framed Construction.” Watch as Erin talks about how building codes have begun to challenge designers when it comes to safety and energy efficiency requirements.
ClarkDietrich is adding two new components to its E-Screen entangled mesh rainscreen rolls providing a complete exterior cladding moisture management system compliant with ASTM performance criteria.
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.
Not all infrastructure is adequately prepared for moisture-related problems that will arise, compromising essential buildings. Why should builders prioritize envelope integrity by defending against moisture?
This product is set to redefine the flashing industry by providing better puncture resistance, a watertight bond, and six-month UV protection at a comparable price.
Forensic and maintenance inspections of roofing systems provide huge benefits to all stakeholders. Regular visual inspections can ensure early detection of problems such as leaks, ponding water, punctures, cracks, or membrane damage.
Recent advancements in thermal imaging will take roof inspection tools to the next level. What is a forensic roof inspection, and how does it combine with thermal technology to make structures secure?
