Polyiso: more than just continuous insulation
Polyiso: more than just continuous insulation
If building managers cannot adequately control water and moisture permeation within their wall assembly due to natural events and poor design, it can cause extensive damage, impact aesthetics, and contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and mold growth, which is proven to have harmful effects on the health and well-being of occupants. Polyiso continuous wall insulation not only resists water but also offers other benefits.
 
 
Protecting the building?
Protecting the building
Water, wind, and ice—while their force and formidable power continue to threaten even the best laid structures, building science and cladding products has come a long way in the defense against weather damage. Moisture causes issues like mold, rot, and long-term structural decay. For these reasons, it is critical to defend against potential moisture issues that can cause harm to a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity, posing a threat to occupant health and safety.
CSI DISCUSSIONS OF THE WEEK
CUSTOM BAPTISTRY GLAZING
I’m looking for some design/spec help for the glass in one of our baptistries. It is an octagonal shape, butt glazed with silicon set in a concrete base. Glass has water filled to two thirds the height. The size is large (approximately 11,356 L [2500 gal]) with about 3637 L (800 gal) against the glass. A structural engineer has designed the concrete but won't touch the glass design. I’ve contacted a few manufacturers and they said to contact an aquarium designer. Any help please?
