W.R. Meadows AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Sheet Membrane
Short Description
AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Sheet Membrane is a self-adhering air, vapor, and liquid moisture barrier designed to protect building envelopes from air leakage and moisture infiltration. This 40-mil thick, flexible membrane features an aluminum facer bonded to modified asphalt, ensuring superior durability, UV resistance, and weatherproofing. Easy to apply and highly flexible, it adheres to concrete, CMU, gypsum board, plywood, and metal, providing seamless, long-lasting air and moisture protection.
AIR-SHIELD™ Aluminum Sheet Membrane is a high-performance, self-adhering air, vapor, and liquid moisture barrier designed to enhance energy efficiency and structural durability in commercial and residential buildings. This 40-mil thick, roll-applied membrane consists of a cross-laminated aluminum facer bonded to a rubberized asphalt adhesive, ensuring long-lasting adhesion, weather resistance, and puncture protection.
Ideal for cavity walls, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, masonry walls, and exterior sheathing, AIR-SHIELD Aluminum Sheet Membrane provides a continuous waterproof barrier that prevents air leaks, water penetration, and mold growth. It remains flexible at low temperatures, is self-sealing around fasteners, and offers UV exposure resistance for up to 12 months before being covered.
