No matter how tightly a building is constructed, moisture will always find a way into the building enclosure. Moisture infiltration can undermine structural integrity, cause exterior surfaces to deteriorate, and shorten life of paints and stains. Low-rise multifamily projects offers similarities to both single-family homes as well as to commercial buildings. Effective weatherization techniques are critical to keeping out air and moisture to preserve longevity, ensure energy efficiency, and promote indoor air quality. Here are a few best practices to keep in mind to protect low-rise multifamily buildings. - Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated #waterproofing #insulation #construction
