W. R. Meadows AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Flashing

W. R. MEADOWS AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Flashing is a self-adhering, air, vapor, and moisture barrier membrane engineered for long-term waterproofing and structural protection in commercial and residential construction. This 40-mil thick, roll-applied flashing features a high-strength aluminum facer bonded to a rubberized asphalt membrane, ensuring superior durability, puncture resistance, and long-lasting adhesion to various substrates.

Designed for sealing critical junctions such as window and door perimeters, wall-to-wall tie-ins, deck-to-wall intersections, and foundation sill plates, AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Flashing creates a seamless waterproof barrier, preventing water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration. The aluminum facer provides enhanced UV resistance, allowing exposure for up to one year before cladding installation.
