The new AIR-SHIELD LM system from W. R. MEADOWS is a single-component, liquid-applied, water-based, polymer-modified air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier. It is formulated to prevent the transmission of air and inhibit vapor and moisture from passing through porous building materials.
The product cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane, which exhibits strong resistance to air and moisture transmission.
Simple Application
The liquid-applied characteristic of AIR-SHIELD LM makes for a simple application, according to the company, noting that the product can also be sprayed with appropriately configured airless spray equipment.
The product can be applied to most common surfaces and integrated into various wall systems. It is suitable for both new construction and restoration projects.
Installation Instructions
To assist with joint treatment of exterior sheathing panels when using AIR-SHIELD LM or AIR-SHIELD LM (ALL SEASON) fluid-applied membranes, W. R. MEADOWS has published a set of installation instructions.
This document outlines the recommended instructions put forth by W. R. MEADOWS, and it is complete with graphics that help reinforce the guidelines.
“This document is an important piece of our AIR-SHIELD LM literature,” said Russ Snow, a building science specialist at W. R. MEADOWS. “It provides an excellent framework for the treatment of joints in exterior sheathing panels, as it pertains to AIR-SHIELD LM.”
