VaproShield: Company's Innovative Membranes Approved by Air Barrier Association of America


Gig Harbor, Wash. — VaproShield's innovative self-adhered vapor permeable, water-resistive air barrier membranes — WrapShield SA Self-Adhered and RevealShield SA Self-Adhered (for open joint rain screen cladding systems) — recently received approval from Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA).

Both approved membranes are fully self-adhered water-resistive barriers (WRB) and air barriers (AB) with a cutting-edge adhesive that does not require primers, is void of VOCs, and can be applied in below-freezing temperatures.

Since a category for such innovation did not exist, it had to be created. Earlier this year, the VaproShield technical team worked with the ABAA to implement a new category for high-performance, self-adhered, air barrier systems.

Product information, samples, and technical assistance can be requested on the VaproShield website at vaproshield.com.

For over a decade, VaproShield has designed and manufactured high-performance mechanically attached and self-adhered vapor permeable, water-resistive barrier (WRB), air barrier (AB) sheet membranes, and accessories to create a complete solution-based approach to protecting the building envelope.
