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.

Reducing Canada’s carbon footprint with sustainable insulation
All building insulation types save energy throughout the use phase of buildings by minimizing the heat transfer (cold/hot) through the building enclosure. The insulation installed within the building enclosure must be used effectively to have the largest impact on energy reduction.
Crystalline waterproofing and protection for concrete
Concrete is susceptible to fluid and vapour infiltration and migration. Crystalline waterproofing technology improves the durability of the concrete by filling and plugging pores, capillaries, and micro-cracks with a non-soluble, highly resistant crystalline formation.
Fixing thermal bridging in masonry foundation walls
Thermal bridges occur all over a building in transitions, terminations, and penetrations. Foundation to wall transitions, balcony projections, window and door openings, and roof parapets can all serve as thermal bridges. However, while identifying areas where thermal bridging can occur is a relatively straightforward process; some areas were harder to…
Thermally improving curtain wall systems
Curtain wall systems provide excellent access to daylight and views that are desired by the building owners and occupants for health and productivity. However, the increasing stringency of building codes has created a conflict with delivering highly glazed buildings because the glazed areas are less thermally efficient than opaque walls.
Role of structural thermal breaks in senior housing projects
Skylights, green roofs, balconies, courtyards, nature walks, theatres, fountains, and other amenities abound. However, less obvious but critical to the comfort and health of seniors are warm interior floors adjacent to exterior walls and doors, and mould-free air recirculating within the sealed building envelope.
What architects can learn from firefighters about radiant heat
In any firefighting operation, the primary objective is to rescue building occupants. However, fire confinement, where firefighters use water or another extinguishing agent to limit the fire to one area, is also crucial.
