How Does a Self-Healing Home Cell Membrane Work?

Microscopic levels of damage can occur in residential water-resistant air barrier membranes during application, and over time, due to wear and tear and environmental elements. Tiny cracks can lead to significant thermal bridging and eventual material failure. In addition, homeowners rarely detect these cracks in time to intervene and repair them before more severe damage occurs.

Vapor barriers and encapsulation can both control moisture accumulation and structurally damaging and unhealthy mold growth in a crawl space.

A waterproofing membrane protects a building against above-grade bulk water infiltration from rain, runoff, snow, etc., and below-grade infiltration due to hydrostatic pressures.

Vapor diffusion occurs when moisture moves from a higher to a lower moisture concentration space or from a warmer to a colder place within a building product, like insulation. In contrast, vapor retarders only hinder vapor diffusion.

Closed-cell foam insulation is a superior and effective insulator for attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, pole barns, existing homes and buildings, vans, new construction, and more.

The strength, durability, and safety of buildings and homes depend on proper waterproofing of the basement floors and walls.

Insulated concrete forms (ICF) create airtight wall systems that minimize moisture intrusion through thermal convection.

A self-adhering sheet waterproofing membrane provides a straightforward, peel-and-stick application for numerous horizontal and vertical locations and conditions.

Concrete foundation flashings direct water down and away from a building and contribute significantly to a below-grade wall waterproofing system, an essential component of a durable, strong, and safe building.
