YOUR BUILDING DESERVES THE BEST B U I L D I N G E N V E L O P E S Y S T E M The building envelope, simply put, is the building exterior that repels the elements.

Upon a closer look, it’s an engineering system that meshes multiple elements; structural integrity, moisture control, temperature control, and air pressure boundaries - all rolled up into a single design strategy.

With the convergence of multiple elements and materials, who makes the final decision? Who is liable?

Most building envelope failures come in the form of moisture that penetrates the exterior or is trapped within the system during construction or occupancy. This leads to degradation of construction materials, dreaded mold growth, rust, rot and eventual failure.

Air is expensive to treat. Owners must heat and cool air so stopping air movement, in and out of the building, using an air barrier, saves energy for the life of the building.

A building has to battle constant moisture infiltration from occupants and Mother Nature, so having a WRB/Air Barrier that offers a high drying capacity mitigates moisture damage within the building envelope and allows building materials to dry out

The VaproShield Air Barrier System was designed to maximize profitability plus minimize inventory and field training. The self-adhering field membranes require no primers, joint/gap fillers or tapes—eliminating the need for time intensive substrate and rough opening preparation.

Nearly 99% of installers reuse our products on their next jobs because managing only two SKU’s in the field improves labor estimates and drastically reduces installation time.

It’s important to understand that NFPA 285 is a full-scale, two-story, exterior wall assembly test, measuring fire characteristics of all the applicable building materials in the assembly not just a single component like the WRB. The ASTM E84 test measures the surface burning flame spread and smoke developed of an individual material. All VaproShield membranes are ASTM E84, C l a s s A r a t e d.
