The thick and thin of fluid-applied air barriers Only the high-build vapor-retarding FAABs are currently held to a minimum of 500 percent ultimate elongation Both medium- and low-build FAABs are held to a minimum of 350 percent ultimate elongation—essentially, this shows thin-film FAAB are held to a lower performance standard
7 Critical Factors to Choosing the Right Air Barrier Whether you’re considering sheet, fluid or even factory-applied, here are the seven factors to consider in your choice of an air barrier product Scroll to the bottom to view our infographic!
Thin mil vs. Thick mil Air Barrier Systems: Could Thin mil be . . . - Pecora In regard to fluid applied vapor permeability, there are two types of WRB: Vapor Permeable (VP) and Non-Permeable (NP) This article will discuss fluid applied VP and NP membranes in thin and thick mil applications and highlight the advantages thin mil applications have over its thicker counterpart

When to Use a Fluid-Applied Air Barrier or a Sheet-Applied Air Barrier . . . The real decision you need to make is whether your building requires permeable air barriers (where water vapor can move through the film, liquid-applied or sheet-applied) or vapor impermeable air barriers which do not allow the movement of water vapor through the membrane
