Building Envelopes & Membrane Systems

Building Envelopes and Membranes: Safeguard your structure from air and moisture intrusion

Waterproofing and barriers are not just for basements anymore. Modern construction practices have grown to include membranes all over buildings, to prevent water intrusion and premature structural deterioration.

We offer both spray applied and adhesive membrane-type building waterproofing solutions.

The use of air barriers in building and construction is an important part of sustainable building design, and is a required component in many green building rating systems and building codes, including LEED, Energy Star, NAHB, ASHRAE 90.1 and ASHRAE 189.

Spray applied membranes provide seamless protection allowing no part of the wall to be left untreated or exposed to moisture penetration even in areas with complex detailing. These liquid systems eliminate the possibility of "fishmouths" or wrinkles-areas presenting the potential for water leakage and migration or movement behind any membrane which is not fully adhered. Localizing the source of leaks later on in these cases becomes extremely difficult and costly.
