Water Management of Noninsulating and Insulating Sheathings: Final Report

Water Management of Noninsulating and Insulating Sheathings: Final Report

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

There is an increasing market in liquid (or fluid) applied water management barriers for residential applications that could be used in place of tapes and other self-adhering membranes if applied correctly, especially around penetrations in the enclosure. This report discusses current best practices, recommends ways in which the best practices can be improved, and looks at some current laboratorytesting and testing standards.
