Adhered Membrane Air & Water Resistive Barriers in Wall Construction
Description:
The presentation provides information on the code compliance, characteristics and installation of fully-adhered membranes.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the code-requirements for air and water resistive barrier performance: Air barrier and water resistive barrier performance requirements are prescribed by building code. These requirements are presented and discussed, citing examples and test methods. Various materials that provide both air and water resistive barrier performance are discussed.
- Gain familiarity with typical self-adhered and fluid-applied membranes and their important properties: This is the introduction to commercially-available membrane products and their their essential properties. Features and benefits of the types of products are discussed. Critical properties with corresponding performance criteria are also presented to assist in the writing of specifications for these systems.
