PROJECT DESCRIPTION
RevealShield SA Self-Adhered Water Resistive Vapor Permeable Air Barrier Sheet Membrane was installed on the James Ford Bell Museum and Planetarium facility on the St. Paul campus of University of Minnesota.
Designed for buildings with open joint cladding, RevealShield SA Self-Adhered WRB/ Air Barrier does not require primer, joint/gap filler, or tape—eliminating the need for time intensive rough opening preparation and increasing contractor profitability.
Noted as the most phase-construction friendly WRB/Air Barrier in the industry, RevealShield SA kept the construction schedule on track and allowed the university to operate throughout installation. RevealShield SA can be installed in virtually all weather conditions, including below freezing, which allowed installers to work throughout the cold Minnesota winter.
The proposed facility will enhance the university’s reputation for innovative research, education, and public engagement focused on Minnesota’s natural environments.
RevealShield SA Self-Adhered eliminates the need for time intensive substrate and rough opening preparation—saving labor costs and time.
RevealShield SA Self-Adhered creates the desired black reveal and UV stability behind the open joint cladding.
