Keith Lolley, VP for Advanced Building Products Inc. in Springvale, Maine, points out that proper flashings are needed with air barriers.
A masonry wall goes up over sheathing coated with PROSOCO R-GUARD, a water-based, fluid-applied air and water-resistive.
"Remember, air barriers are not through-wall flashings and do not take the place of through-wall flashings," Lolley says. "Installing a metal drip edge with an air barrier-type product in a flashing application will heat up the air barrier, causing it to drool and stain the surrounding masonry. Current rubberized asphalt air barriers are not UV resistant."
Advanced Building Products recently invented a non-asphaltic copper flashing, Copper Sealtite 2000, that's UV resistant and compatible with all air barrier systems for use at the base of walls, over doors and windows, and any other obstruction, he says.
