September 10, 2007

Hampshire, IL – AIR-SHIELD THRU-WALL FLASHING from W. R. MEADOWS is a self-adhering, flexible membrane flashing. It is a roll-type product that is nominally 40 mils thick. AIR-SHIELD THRU-WALL FLASHING is a concealed flashing for masonry concrete, wood/steel frames and roofing applications – door and window lintels, sills, spandrel beams, caps and parapets. AIR-SHIELD THRU-WALL FLASHING is designed for use as a thru-wall flashing and dampproofing course. Its controlled thickness membrane is ideal for flashing membrane applications, and its cross-laminated polyethylene film has excellent tensile strength, elongation and tear-resistance. This modified, rugged membrane is flexible at low temperatures and can actually fold to shape during application as a thru-wall flashing. AIR-SHIELD THRU-WALL FLASHING has excellent adhesion to prepared substrates of pre-cast concrete, cast in place concrete, masonry (concrete block), interior and exterior gypsum board, Styrofoam, primed steel, aluminum mill finish, anodized aluminum, primed galvanized metal, drywall and plywood. Its self-healing characteristics facilitate recovery if minimal damage is sustained under normal use applications. AIR-SHIELD THRU-WALL FLASHING is packaged in 75’ rolls, with multiple width sizes.
