Overview

Self-adhered air, water, and vapor barrier flashing
Storage and Handling
Store material rolls on end in original packaging. Protect rolls from direct sunlight and inclement weather until rady for use.
Preparation
All surfaces must be dry, sound, clean, “as new” condition, and free of oil, grease, dirt, excess mortar, or other contaminants detrimental to the adhesion of the water resistive air barrier membrane and flashings.
Fill voids and gaps in substrate greater than 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) in width to provide an even surface.
Installation
Use roller to activate pressure-sensitive adhesive. Best practice is to cover flashing as soon as practical.
Limitations
VaproFlashing SA should be covered within 12 months of installation. Minimum recommended application temperature of 20˚F (-6˚C) and rising. VaproFlashing SA is installed on most substrates without primer. Specific jobsite conditions may require additional surface preparation with primer, contact VaproShield Technical.
