| Warranties for architectural metal coatings: A comparative review |
| |
|
Today’s skyscrapers, stadiums, office buildings, and entertainment complexes look better and last longer than ever. That is due, in large part, to advances made in the aesthetics and performance of fluoropolymer liquid, powder, and field-applied coatings for aluminum and other metal building components.

Water intrusion comes with the potential for moisture-related issues like mold and rot in the building envelope. Since the elusive ‘waterproof wall’ is yet to be invented, specifiers must turn their attention to effective moisture management strategies to best protect wall assemblies. Weather-resistant barriers (WRBs), also known as building wraps or housewraps, are one of the best building materials for controlling water, either through blocking rain from entering the wall cavity, allowing moisture vapor to move and escape the wall cavity, or draining bulk water away from the wall assembly.

I have talked with asphalt contractors and am concerned especially with their recommendation to apply a sealer at the 10-year point.
