Materials
Approximately 37,800 square feet of this project was covered with PROSOCO’s R-Guard Cat 5 air and water barrier, as well as the company’s Joint & Seam Filler, a fiber-reinforced fill coat and seam treatment; FastFlash liquid flashing membrane; and PorousPrep, a water-based sealer for raw gypsum board edges.
MANUFACTURER: Prosoco
The Retrofit
Completed last year, this hospital was 10 percent retrofit. The retrofitting occurred where the new build portion ties into the existing building. Some of that area was brick veneer and liquid-applied product was the only option. All work was completed during winter, which is especially rainy in Washington state. Installation was completed without having to tent the building.
