PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The beautiful residence overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan was gutted due to black mold and rot because the previous building wrap had failed miserably.
Over 3,800 sq.ft. of WrapShield RS Rain Screen 3mm was installed behind the mahogany tongue and groove siding, protecting this year-round residence against the Lake Michigan weather extremes, bitter cold, high winds, heat and humidity.
WrapShield RS Rain Screen is a state-of-the-art breathable, water resistive air barrier with a built-in 3mm drainage matrix. The unique integrated tape ensures proper installation. The minimalist 3mm drainage plane won’t disrupt the level plane needed to install the unique siding.
The simple and easy-to-install two component flashing system: VaproFlashing pre-cut 11 ¾” rolls and VaproLiqui-Flash eliminated the need for the installer to purchase additional tapes to flash rough opening and windows.
The built-in 3mm drainage matrix created a minimal rain screen design and creating a level plane for siding installation. Changes to the siding design were not required.
All rough openings and windows were flashed using VaproShield’s two component system: VaproLiqui-Flash (gray) and VaproFlashing (installed behind penetration).
