About This Program

Buildings don’t leak in the middle of a solid wall, they leak where we cut holes in them! This session focuses on the connection points of the wall air barrier to all of the adjoining materials and what has to be done to make these transitions successful. Learn how to specify and detail your transitions and flashings to keep you out of (hot) water.
