Hampshire, IL – AIR-SHIELD LM by W. R. MEADOWS is a single-component, liquid-applied, water-based, polymer-modified air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier, formulated to prevent the transmission of air and inhibit vapor and moisture from passing through porous building materials.
The liquid-applied characteristic of AIR-SHIELD LM makes for a simple application, while it is also a sprayable product. It is suitable for both new construction and restoration projects.
To assist with joint treatment of exterior sheathing panels when using AIR-SHIELD LM fluid-applied membrane, W. R. MEADOWS has published a set of installation instructions. This document outlines recommend instructions put forth by W. R. MEADOWS, and is complete with graphics that help reinforce the guidelines.
