Sealing Joints in the Building Envelope 1.0 CEU/HSW

Sealing Joints in the Building Envelope Joint failure is one of the most common—and costly—causes of moisture intrusion in buildings. This seminar addresses the often-overlooked disconnect between architects selecting joint sealants and engineers calculating joint movement. When the selected sealant’s movement capability isn’t aligned with actual joint movement, failure is inevitable. In Sealing the Building […]
