PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Approximately 25,000 sq ft of WRAPSHIELD^®, the highest permeable air barrier in the industry, was used for this 42,000 sq ft Harley Davidson showroom completed in January 2009.

Designed to LEED-type standards, particular care was taken to ensure that construction materials would ensure healthy indoor air and create an energy efficient structure.

Additionally, Jim Christain worked with the architect for a year to address the specific needs for the building envelope. The plywood substrate was nailable because of the variable complex sheet metal cladding.  Also, due to the potential for wet winter weather during construction, the plywood needed to be protected quickly and the membrane drying period needed to be short to prevent mildew and mold. The additional use of 3D Factory Formed Corners saved installation time and costs; and will reduce the incidence of moisture intrusion around windows and doors.
