Product demonstrations

Next Generation Weather Resistant Barriers

Attendees learned how to instal VYCOR® enV-S™ membrane, and deliver improved energy efficiency and weather protection to their clients. GCP's new, fully-adhered vapour permeable weather resistant barrier, VYCOR® enV-S™ sheet membrane, can solve many of the challenges facing traditional house wraps. Poorly installed and/or damaged mechanically-attached house wraps compromise a building’s water and air tightness, leading to lower energy efficiency and creating the potential for mould, rot and air quality problems. GCP's NEW VYCOR® enV-S™ membrane improves building energy efficiency and solves problems inherent in mechanically-attached house wraps.

FLASH IT RIGHT^®: Bullet-Proof Flashing Details

Leaks caused by inadequate or poorly installed flashing are among the most common reasons for costly call-backs. AT JLC LIVE New England, attendees learned about GCP’s VYCOR^® Plus and VYCOR^®PRO self-adhered flashings and how to select the proper flashing for the job.

ROOF IT RIGHT^®: Building Water-Tight Roofs

Water is one of the worst enemies of building structures. The roofing underlay is, therefore, an important part of a home's overall roof system. When water enters through a roof system, it creates the potential for rot and mould development. This training taught builders and remodelers how to instal Grace Ice & Water Shield roofing underlayment, GRACE ROOF DETAIL MEMBRANE^™ and TRI-FLEX^® Synthetic Underlay to extend the life of a roof by protecting against moisture intrusion, particularly in areas subject to ice dams and wind-driven rain.
