For architects, more durability gives confidence that projects won’t be compromised during construction while protecting a structure's exterior aesthetic.
For contractors it also provides higher performance and reliability, while meeting and exceeding building codes.
Dörken’s DELTA® barriers provide upgraded protection against air and moisture infiltra-tion, making your projects more resilient, cost-effective, and easier to manage.
DELTA®-VENT S and DELTA®-VENT SA barriers are now more durable than ever. Manufac-tured using thermal polyurethane liquid, these barriers offer increased UV protection, and longer allowable exposure times of up to one year, mitigating the risk of damage before a building’s exterior cladding is installed.
This change in composition allows the air barriers to better handle the stresses and movements in building materials over time. Plus, despite this increase in durability, DELTA®-VENT S and DELTA®-VENT SA remain lightweight and more tear-resistant , making installation much easier.
DELTA® ‘s Specially Engineered Air- and Water-resistive Barriers Boost Design Flexibility in Open Joint Cladding with 25% More Exposure
Designing with open joint rainscreen cladding? Recent testing of DELTA® air- and water-resistive barriers has opened creative possibilities for architects. Now, more DELTA®-FASSADE S and DELTA®-FASSADE SA surfaces can be exposed in open-joint cladding systems, proving them to be more durable than ever.
Specifically, the DELTA®-FASSADE S and DELTA®-FASSADE SA can now have 50% of open-joint cladding facade, a 25% increase from the previous limit of 40%. With the increased allowed exposure, these barriers provide architects with more design flexibility, enhanced product performance, and added reliability.
