2 phases. 5 buildings. 8-10 stories each. ~700,000 sq. ft. of air barrier. 2 1/2 years of construction.
Proven to withstand extreme weather conditions, PROSOCO R-Guard air & water barrier-protected buildings are more durable, resilient and sustainable.
All components in a wall assembly must work together as a system.
That's why we recommend (as do most building codes) a systems approach to protect your entire building.

Success stories
When you can't access the exterior of a building, there's still a way to install an air barrier in what's called a negative-side application.

"If we want to change the way multifamily is built, we need to show institutional investors that Passive House works at this scale. The best way to do that is to build one."
HOW WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR WRB INSTALLATION
Many traditional air barriers can only be applied in dry conditions and with temperatures above 40°F. That can equal significant delays in construction timelines. That's why we specifically formulated R-Guard air and water barriers for easy installation even in damp and cold conditions.
