How to Repair a Building Envelope Barrier Membrane

A lot of time, money, and effort goes into achieving a leak-free building envelope. Tears, punctures, air blisters, and fishmouths can interrupt the continuity of a barrier in an otherwise properly installed membrane. Accurately repairing these disruptions is essential to achieve the proper bond of a self-adhering barrier membrane. W. R. MEADOWS offers a repair procedure technical bulletin which outlines the steps needed to accomplish repairs needed to maintain the integrity of AIR-SHIELD, W. R. MEADOWS’ high quality self-adhering air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier option. These instructions are also available in a convenient PDF that can be saved to a mobile device or printed for a quick reference on the construction site. If you encounter an issue not addressed on the technical bulletin, please contact technical support for further instruction.
