Air Barrier Technology:
Are You Ready For The New Generation?
by Hohmann and Barnard
TEXTROFLASH LIQUID IS A NEW GENERATION LIQUID AIR BARRIER THAT IS PRICE COMPETITIVE, ENERGY EFFICIENT, AND WILL CUT LABOR COSTS BY OVER ONE HALF. As energy costs continue to rise, the use of air/vapor barriers become even more critical in today's design environment. The ability to make a building as airtight and energy efficient as possible is a major consideration in building envelope design. For over 75 years, Hohmann & Barnard has been the leading innovator of products for the masonry building envelope including wire reinforcement, anchoring systems, control and expansion joint materials, Thru-Wall flashings, weeps/vents, drip plates and numerous other products. The inclusion of air/vapor barriers into this product mix to create a total system approach, is another trend that is seen in today's construction industry.
