Cementitious
Crystalline Waterproofing:
Blend of Portland cement, fine treated silica sand and active
proprietary chemicals. When mixed with water and applied
as a cementitious coating, the active chemicals cause a catalytic
reaction which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation
of dendritic fibers within the pores and capillary tracts
of concrete. This process causes concrete to become
permanently sealed against the penetration of liquids from
any direction.
Rainscreen:
A moisture-management system incorporating cladding,
air cavity, drainage plane, and airtight support wall to offer
multiple moisture-shedding pathways. Rain screens diminish
the forces attempting to drive moisture into the wall.
Building Envelope:
The building envelope includes all the building components
that separate the indoors from the outdoors. Building envelopes
include the exterior walls, foundations, roof, windows and
doors.
Boron Treatment:
Sodium octaborate tetrahydrate, commonly referred
to as boron, is a water soluble wood preservative that is
absorbed by the wood surface and then penetrates by diffusion.
TimBor is highly toxic to wood decay fungi.
Cementitious Grouts:
Are grout based on Portland cement, with graded aggregate
and chemical additives which help control the expansion of
grout. It is also effect in the preventing shrinkage in grouted
areas. |
