Join us for our next Educational Series Seminar presented by BEI/Prosoco.

Window opening air and water leakage has been a difficult problem for the construction industry. This course evaluates building failures, conventional construction approaches, and new developments in waterproofing techniques to show a path forward for designers seeking higher-performing wall assemblies.

Key Learning Objectives

1. Explain why job-site conditions should be used as systems engineering requirements in construction product development.

2. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between silicone, urethane, and STPE sealants.

3. Describe the multi-step weatherproofing process of conventional window installation and how such installations fare in real-world testing conditions.

4. Explain new window weatherproofing techniques using liquid flashing membranes.

5. Instruct others on construction defect remediation using STPE technology through case-study examples.
