At the center of the building envelope is an essential component: the air and water-resistive barrier (AWRB). These barriers play a crucial role in preventing moisture and air infiltration, maintaining structural integrity, and enhancing energy efficiency.

As the industry shifts away from traditional housewraps and mechanically fastened systems, two modern options have emerged as leaders—liquid-applied coatings and self-adhered membranes.
Both systems provide compelling advantages, and each has a place in the architect’s toolkit. But how do they differ? Let’s explore the nuances of these technologies and their impact on the future of construction design. - Sto Corp.

Resilient buildings are designed and built to not only withstand significant weather events, but to continue to function after.

A significant component of a resilient building is unquestionably the roof system. Additionally, policies are mandating and owners are starting to demand more resilient roofs and buildings.

The presentation will provide designers with specific items to include on their project for a more resilient roof design to resist wind, water and keep a building operable after a storm. - GAF - Roofing & Siplast
