Product Details

  • Product #HE003

FOILSKIN® consists of an SBS rubberized asphalt compound, integrally laminated to a glass scrim-reinforced aluminum foil. FOILSKIN is specifically designed to be self-adhered to a prepared substrate, providing a weather barrier. 

  • SBS-modified membrane, flexible at low temperatures
  • Impermeable to air, moisture vapour, and water
  • No flame or adhesive required for installation
  • Thickness controlled at point of manufacture Excellent adhesion to prepared pipe and insulation substrates
  • Membrane is self-sealing when penetrated with self-tapping screws
  • Self-adhesive membrane bond strengthens over time
  • Does not promote mould growth
  • UV-resistant
  • Replaces metal as well as mastic applications 

Usage:

FOILSKIN is designed for use as a jacketing system over insulated ducts, chilled water piping, refrigeration pipes, plenums, and housing to provide a UV-resistant AVB. Also used to waterproof and protect pipes from corrosion in underground applications.

FEATURED CEU

Competitive, Constructable, Complete Specifying Total Envelope Solutions in a Low-Bid World

A whopping 90% of construction litigation is driven by moisture intrusion. That intrusion occurs within just 5% of the total surface area of the envelope. The culprit is always the same: transitions and penetrations. The roof must transition to the wall, the wall must transition to the foundation, the punched openings must be tied into the air barrier, the insulation must be installed over the air barrier, and the cladding goes overtop that... and on and on. What’s the challenge? We need the envelope to perform as a unified whole, but we specify, design, bid, VE, install, and inspect it in phases, which always involves multiple manufacturers and multiple trades. The industry is clearly consolidating around “total envelope solutions” provided by three to five horizontally integrated conglomerates, but we have not yet reached the inflection point: integrated envelope specifications/warranties. What’s it going to take to do things better?
