WRAPSHIELD SA® SELF-ADHERED Water-Resistive Vapor Permeable Air Barrier Sheet

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Over 80,000 Sq.Ft. of WRAPSHIELD SA® SELF-ADHERED Water Resistive Vapor Permeable Air Barrier Sheet was installed over exterior gypsum on the new Radisson BLU, the only hotel attached via skyway directly to the Mall of America.

WRAPSHIELD SA® SELF-ADHERED is being installed in the harsh Minnesota winter weather. The average temperature is 10-30 degrees with frequent winds. WRAPSHIELD® was chosen because it can easily withstand these harsh conditions.

WRAPSHIELD® key features:

  • No primer is required
  • Zero VOC's, (no off-gassing)
  • Low Temperature Applications
  • Fire Rated, Class A to ASTM E 84
  • 6 Months UV & Climate Exposure
 

The $137.5 million, 500-room hotel is only the second Radisson BLU in the United States with the first being in Chicago, IL. The project is set to be complete in the Spring of 2013.
