Matt Stevens, Building Envelope & Architectural Consultant for Rmax, joined us recently to discuss his webinar, “Polyiso CI: The Next Generation Air & Water Barrier Solution.” Listen in as Matt discusses what makes polyiso CI a great air and water barrier solution.
To efficiently future-proof the building envelope in light of the new climate reality, taking both into consideration is critical. One vital tool in this effort, though often overlooked, is air and water-resistive barriers (AWBs).
Sto Corp. has announced the introduction of Sto GPS Board, a graphite-enhanced, 100% closed-cell expanded polystyrene insulation board that can be used in a variety of applications, including the new StoTherm® ci GPS wall system, and improved StoTherm ci MVES and StoPowerwall® ci systems.
Georgia-Pacific announced the launch of DensDefy Liquid Barrier, a fluid-applied, air- and water-resistive barrier. Once applied, DensDefy Liquid Barrier produces a seamless, durable membrane on exterior gypsum sheathing, wood sheathing, CMU, and concrete walls.
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.
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).
