PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Over 5,800 sq. ft. of VaproShield products, including RainScreen SA self-adhered Air Barrier (AB) Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) with built-in rainscreen drainage matrix were installed on a West Los Angles, California multi-family housing build. RainScreen SA’s new aggressive adhesive bonded without primer to the OSB substrate used in this project.

The design/build firm Construct LA whose Principal, Rick Dreyfus, has used VaproShield products for over 5 years was the first to use the new product in a build.  Prior projects required a two-step process for the installation of the air barrier/WRB and drainage matrix. Construct LA was pleased with the new RainScreen SA’s ability [to] reduce installation steps with a one-step air barrier WRB rainscreen cavity installed behind  the stucco application.
