Product demonstrations

  • ROOF IT RIGHT®: Building Water-Tight Roofs
  • Next Generation Weather Resistive Barriers
  • FLASH IT RIGHT®: Bullet-Proof Flashing Details

 Next Generation Weather Resistive Barriers


Attendees learned how to install Vycor enV-S membrane, and deliver improved energy efficiency and weather protection to their clients. GCP's new, fully-adhered vapor permeable weather resistive 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 mold, 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 underlayment 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 mold development. This training taught builders and remodelers how to install Grace Ice & Water Shield roofing underlayment, GRACE ROOF DETAIL MEMBRANE andTRI-FLEX® Synthetic Underlayment to extend the life of a roof by protecting against moisture intrusion, particularly in areas subject to ice dams and wind-driven rain. 

Learn how to… 

  • Select the right products for the job — self-adhered, synthetic and high temperature roofing underlayments
  • Properly apply roofing underlayments, including Tips & Tricks and detailed instruction
