WrapShield SA WRB/Air Barrier, Proven Performance

VaproShield

07 25 00 Weather Barriers

WrapShield SA self-adhered is a highly vapour permeable, water-resistive (WRB) air barrier (AB) membrane designed to reduce the risk of moisture damage in the building envelope.

The WrapShield SA difference is:

  • protects the building envelope by allowing vapour to pass through, but not air or liquid water;
  • reduces risk of damage from moisture infiltration for thousands of building owners;
  • 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 performance with millions of square feet installed;
  • installs in below freezing temperatures; 
  • no primer and 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;
  • fully tested rough opening flashing system;
  • earned Declare Label in 2016, zero red list chemicals;
  • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 285) compliant in more than 50 assemblies;
  • Passes ASTM 1354, Standard Test Method for Heat and Visible Smoke; and
  • Standard 20-year warranty.

Improving tie-in details for better envelope performance

The trend towards higher performing buildings and envelope systems requires a re-doubling of effort towards achieving durable, constructible, and maintainable transition details. There are many ways for these details to fail. Fortunately, there are also many opportunities throughout the design and construction process to focus on getting them right.

Rejuvenating old masonry facades with overcladding

Investing in smart, context-sensitive overcladdings—as well as upgrading older masonry buildings with new, energy-wise envelope improvements—can contribute to not just better buildings but also improved neighbourhoods.

Overcladding masonry facades: Additional practical insights

As an alternative to removing and replacing the original masonry, project teams and architects are encouraged to design an insulated facade layer with vapour barrier, creating a new enclosure that is watertight and energy efficient, and possibly more attractive. This raises a question about how to ensure the ideal placement…

Colour Considerations: Managing visual expectations for metal coatings

Metal coatings have come a long way. Not only have their protective and environmental qualities improved dramatically in recent years, but so have the range of colours and effects. Thanks to these new innovations and technologies, architects can choose from an extraordinary palette of decorative colours, glosses, and sheens for…

Perfecting Firestopping: Common mistakes

Most construction specifiers, architects, engineers, and contractors are aware of the National Building Code of Canada’s (NBC’s) firestop compliances, but proper materials and application techniques are nevertheless often overlooked. This situation could lead to needless injuries and fatalities in a commercial building fire. However, using the correct firestop materials can…

Firestopping and effective compartmentation

Fire resistance is one of the oldest fire protection strategies. Fire-resistance-rated walls and floors, joined together continuously, mean ‘effective compartmentation’ for a room of any size. Materials specified in MasterFormat 07 84 00−Firestopping maintain the continuity of this fire-resistance-rated construction through treating the holes made for cables, ducts, pipes, and…
