Air- & Water-Resistive Barriers

• Durable drainage plane, channels bulk liquid from wind-driven rain and snow to the outside of the structure
• High vapor permeability, allows moisture within the cavity to escape swiftly via diffusion
• Watertight; protects the building enclosure from the possible damage of moisture infiltration
• Lightweight and tear resistant, making installation fast, easy and reliable
• Matte black; prevents blinding during installation and acts as a blank canvas, allowing the open cladding architecture to shine
• Designed for permanent UV exposure in open joint cladding systems.
• Consists of highly tear-resistant polyester substrate with a waterproof coating.
• Ideal for use in metal and wood stud construction.
• Easy to install.

Air- & Water-Resistive Barrier

• Vapor permeable; moisture within the building enclosure can escape through the membrane via diffusion
• Fully adhered to the substrate, no fasteners are required, eliminating leaks and improving the performance of the building enclosure with increased airtightness, making it ideal for energy-efficient construction
• Lightweight and tear resistant, the membrane withstands the rigors of job sites, as well as tough wind and weather
• Two outer layers are made of a high-strength, spun-bonded polypropylene fabric
• Outer layers are thermally bonded to a highly vapor-permeable, watertight, polymeric middle layer
• Adhesive is applied to the bottom layer of polypropylene
• Dramatically exceeds the most stringent requirements of the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) based on the results of ASTM E2357 – 11 Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage of Air Barrier Assemblies

Rainscreen

• Structured membrane provides two-sided exterior and interior drainage and ventilation
• Pre-installed polypropylene fabric mortar screen prevents scratch coats from filling its dimple structure
• Ventilated air space allows interior water vapor to escape between the sheathing board and the membrane while minimizing condensation that could cause potential damage within the building enclosure
• Material is easily cut with a utility knife, and seams are simply butted together, making overlapping unnecessary

Rainscreen

• Structured membrane provides two-sided exterior and interior drainage and ventilation
• Ventilated air space allows interior water vapor to escape between the sheathing board and the membrane while minimizing condensation that could cause potential damage within the building enclosure
• Complete capillary break behind the cladding provides ventilation, which captures and drains transient moisture migrating through the wall structure
• Waterproof, resisting the passage of bulk water from wind-driven rain and snow, and managing water leakage through the cladding
• Installed outboard of the water-resistive barrier over sheathing board
• Material is easily cut, and seams are simply butted together, making overlapping unnecessary
• Exterior cladding material can be installed as usual, right on top of the rainscreen
