Brick ledge flashing protects against bulk water infiltration at the joint where the concrete ledge of the foundation meets the wood framing.

Properly installing vapor barriers (retarders) according to vapor barrier code requirements will minimize or stop water vapor infiltration and exfiltration into a building envelope, provide damp proofing, and enhance the building's comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term integrity.

Applying the best concrete waterproofing sealer will protect the concrete's integrity and aesthetics and extend its lifespan. The best waterproof sealer for concrete should effectively protect against moisture, chemicals, oil, salt, grease, alkali-silica reactions (ASR), and weather exposure.

Your deck's long-term value, integrity, and aesthetics require adequate under-deck waterproofing with products like Polyflow® BD Sheet Molded Drainage Mat, compatible with Polyguard's Balconyguard™ Membrane, and PolyWall Rot Shield Joist Tape.

Poly Wall's Blue Barrier™ Flash' N Wrap™ 2400 (for cold climates) and Aluma Flash™ UV Resistant Flashing (for hot and humid climates) are a superior solution to flashing systems for a sliding glass door.

Maintaining your wood deck will preserve its value and elevate the aesthetics of your home's outdoor entertainment space.

Protecting the exterior surface of underground pipelines from abrasion damage due to rocks, boulders, and above-ground traffic and equipment requires an abrasion-resistant outer layer or coating. An effective way to ensure an abrasion-resistant steel pipe involves applying a protective layer, like Polyguard IRO™ (Impact Resistant Outerwrap) and IRO™ HD (Heavy Duty) products.
