Like the other bulletins in the Technical Series, this issue outlines basic principles to help the end-user understand each component involved in various sealant, waterproofing and restoration systems. Specifically, Technical Bulletin #16: Air Barriers describes:
• How drainage water can move between a building’s exterior and interior components.
• Components of an air barrier system and how they impact a building’s health.
• Types of air barriers and how they work.
• Vapor retarders and the impact/role of vapor diffusion.
• Water-resistive barriers and their critical placement.
• Proper placement of air barriers, vapor retarders and water-resistive barriers.
• Construction considerations.
Each bulletin uses easy-to-understand language and incorporates tables and photos to explain details. To purchase copies of Technical Bulletin #16: Air Barriers (or any others in the SWRInstitute’s Technical Bulletin series), contact the Institute at www.swrionline.org, or call 816.472.7974.
