Effective insulation strategies that enhance energy efficiency, prevent moisture intrusion, and contribute to a durable and sustainable structure are crucial in this process.

SPRI announced that it is partnering with FM Approvals to create a new standard “Test Standard for Comparative Adhesion Strengths of Waterproofing Membranes, Membrane Adhesives, and Board Stock Materials or Other Suitable Substrates Used with Low Slope Roofing Systems.” 

Justin Koscher, President of PIMA, joins us to discuss tapered roof insulation and how it can help improve drainage and reroofing challenges.

Understanding the impact of fasteners penetrating through the control layers responsible for keeping the building dry and comfortable is critical to long-term sustainability both in terms of durability and energy performance.

We sat down with PIMA president Justin Koscher to discuss the role of polyiso insulation in increasing energy efficiency, and the role polyiso plays when used in below-grade for thermal resistance.

The design and infrastructure of educational buildings play a crucial role in fostering an environment conducive to learning.

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?
