How reliable is the building envelope?
The developer has taken great care in selecting building envelope materials and practices that will give trouble-free performance for an extended life span. • Walls are clad with brick and backed with a rain screen sealed with polyurethane foam insulation and vapour barrier on the outside face rather than within the wood framing allowing lots of air movement to keep the wood dry and free of moulds; • A Building Envelope Specialist approved by St. Paul Guarantee is reviewing all envelope related construction on a regular basis. • Windows are sealed to the polyurethane foam and built to an upgraded standard; • An on-site water test will be performed by the building envelope specialist to verify performance of all building components; • Roof membranes are SBS modified 2 ply torch-on, inspected, with a 5 year RCABC Warranty; • Deck Membranes are protected from damage by insulation and pavers. • The parkade walls were constructed using Kryton Kim admixture in the concrete.
