Air barriers are a common and very important component of exterior wall assemblies. They are also considered the last defense against water intrusion, due to the fact that most cladding products are not 100% waterproof. |

However, drive by many construction sites and you can see such items as...
- Insufficient membrane fixation
- Improper window and door detail
- Installation of home wrap air barriers not commercial grade products
- A combination of various air barrier manufacturers products

Good practice shows it's all in the details.
The issue at hand is not the manufacturer's application instructions, but rather the implementation of these instructions. Failing to follow these instructions voids any responsibility on the performance of the product, and puts it squarely on those involved in the construction process. |
