Nobody on this list wants sick tenants, costly remediation, or shortened building-life.
Yet they know that's what they could be facing, unless the moisture that worms its way into masonry exterior wall-cavities is expelled quickly, constantly, and dependably. Trapped moisture can lead to hazardous mold-growth, premature wall-failure, or even demolition. So how will TotalFlash" turn those frowns into smiles?

Total Protection: With TotalFlash, all the most effective drainage methods are ingeniously pre-assembled onto each handy, 5-1/2-foot panel of 40-mil flexible flashing. Its redundant protections & consistent coverage promote ideal building longevity and interior air-quality. Everyone can breathe easier!
Installs In A Flash: "All-in-one" TotalFlash installs a lot faster than an array of separate components, moving the job along and letting masons get to their bricklaying much sooner.
