The Wide World of WRBs: Specifying WRBs as part of a high performance system

1 AIA LU|HSW

Presented by Ben Buslach, District Sales Manager, Benjamin Obdyke

There are a lot of options out there for Water Resistive Barriers. Determining what’s best for your project can be challenging. This course will help to identify and educate you on best practices and accessories for those options. HSW Justification: Without proper knowledge of how to install Water-Resistive Barrier Housewraps, the wall assembly is vulnerable to water introduction. We provide knowledge and solutions for moisture management, which will keep out mold and rot, which can penetrate through the wall and make those living inside susceptible to severe illness. This moisture knowledge will also keep the siding of the structure in tact and strong, which will prevent pieces from falling off or injuring anyone possibly doing a remediation.
