Drying Capacity 

• The highest drying capacity in the industry (see chart below) allowing interior moisture to escape the building envelope. 
• Ensures water-saturated sheathings dry quickly, preventing mold, mildew, rot, metal corrosion and reduced insulation thermal values.

Durability & Cost Effectiveness

• Suitable for use on high rise buildings unlimited height
• Cost effective flashing system for windows.
• Warranted to last the life of the building.
• Sustains 9 months of UV and climate exposure.
• Self-cinching, minimizes penetration point leaks and the need for sealant 
• Tear, rip and puncture resistant during and after construction reducing repairs and labor costs.
• Installs easily and can span framing members without solid substrate providing moisture protection, ensuring cost-effective completion of the "dry-in" phase.  

Environmental Sustainability

• Contributes to LEED points in Indoor Environmental Quality.
• Is 100% recyclable.

Compatibility 

• Compatible with wood, metal, composite siding, cedar shingles, plaster, drained EIF's and stucco.
• Works with any open joint rain screen cladding such as Trespa Meteon®, Parklex and Prodema Lignum.

WallShield self cinches around fasteners, minimizing the need for sealant reducing construction time and costs
