RevealShield SA Self-Adhered WRB/Air Barrier
VaproShield
07 25 00 Weather Barriers
RevealShield SA self-adhered water-resistive (WRB) and air barrier (AB) is a patent-pending, black, ultraviolet (UV) stable, water-resistive, vapour-permeable, self-adhered air barrier membrane for open-joint rainscreen cladding systems.
The RevealShield SA difference:
- protects building envelope by allowing vapour to pass through, but not air or liquid water;
- reduces risk of damage from moisture infiltration;
- stops air infiltration as per ASTM 2357, Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate of Air Barrier Assemblies, and approved by the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA);
- proven longevity in the marketplace, launched 2014;
- no primer, zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs);
- innovative pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) offers superior lap adhesion;
- unique PSA allows for repositioning, vastly improving speed and ease of installation; and
- fully tested rough opening flashing system.

The construction industry has witnessed an ongoing trend toward large-dimension material panels over the last 60 to 70 years. A pattern of 1.2 x 2.4-m (4 x 8-ft) sheets of oriented strandboard (OSB) and plywood have replaced 0.3 x 3- or 0.3 x 3.6-m (1 x 10- or 1 x…
Designing thermally comfortable buildings
Buildings are designed for the people who live and work within them. Yet, more than 40 per cent of occupants of office facilities have reported dissatisfaction with their thermal environment. This is because building design often disregards thermal comfort due to the analysis involved in quantifying a person’s subjective human…

As building owners have increasingly realized the cost benefits of completing roof restorations rather than reroofing, the demand for roof coatings has similarly grown.
Comparing liquid and powder coatings
Historically, liquid fluoropolymer coatings have been the product of choice for coating aluminum architectural components in Canada. This is due to the extensive colour and gloss options, and their ability to be economically produced in small batches of custom hues.
Thinking Zinc: Examining the cladding options
This article examines some of the advantages, characteristics, and cladding choices that ‘zinc’ (or, more accurately, architectural rolled zinc) offers the built environment. The material is a mixture of titanium, zinc, and copper; essentially, it is an engineered, non-ferrous metal alloy of high-grade zinc.
Wind design for modular vegetated roofing systems
Vegetated roofs offer multiple benefits to urban areas, such as managing stormwater and reducing energy demand. Wind flow around buildings creates positive and negative pressure fluctuations, affecting both the roofing and the vegetation on it. As part of the building envelope, it is important a vegetated roof is secured against…
