Air Vapor Barrier

Air Vapor Barrier

Air Vapor Barriers are a critical portion of the building envelope. This is the component that will protect the building against fungi, mold, and moisture and will help the building to balance allowing enough humidity to exit from the building while halting the external humidity from entering.

The requirements of an Air Vapor Barrier and where it is placed in the wall assembly highly depend on where the building is located and what is the climate. Dryer places like desert surroundings need a permeable Air Vapor barrier, while more humid places need a more impermeable one.

Wetsuit’s® ability to be applied at any thickness allows us to custom build the permanence of the membrane to meet the project requirements of nearly any type of Air Vapor Barrier

One solution for the full building envelope

WetSuit® through its flexibility and performance can adapt to the building needs for the full envelope. Simply by varying the application thickness of the membrane, WetSuit® provides a more integrated and homogenous solution to the issues of roofing, air vapor barrier and below-grade waterproofing.
