Selecting a Spray-Applied Air Barrier
by Colin Szewaga
Air barriers are becoming more common because they reduce energy use and many codes now require them. Fluid-applied membranes are especially popular because of their continuity, strength, and airtightness.
The Importance of Dehumidifiers
Dehumidifiers are often a critical component of a waterproofing system. But determining their size, placement and features is an essential part of making sure the units perform as intended.
Crystalline Solutions for Wastewater Plants
Waterproofing and sealing wastewater treatment facilities are difficult because of the constant immersion, extreme head pressure, and sometimes caustic chemicals.
A Different Direction: Green Walls
No longer satisfied with green roofs, designers are now developing vertical gardens and green walls, which require a new approach to waterproofing.
