La Colombe d’Or

Project Description

The limestone anchoring was very complex and unaccommodating to the air barrier system. The sealing process, while not un-ordinary, was very difficult and tedious. The exterior façade had several different finishes: limestone, brick, curtain wall and metal panels. The framing/sheathing of the building returns in and out throughout the entire façade of the building, requiring a substantial amount of detailing. There were very few flat open surfaces for area receiving air barrier. The schedule was fast paced and required a large amount of overtime.

“Chamberlin is the most professional and reliable waterproofer we work with. Their office personnel have in-depth knowledge of the products they recommend and field staff are trained on how they should be installed to achieve a warrantable system. We also greatly benefit from a robust quality control program which includes third party inspections from ABAA. The thoroughness and transparency of their program gives us confidence that we are working as a team to build the best envelope systems for our clients.”
