When it comes to luxury vehicles, the experience extends beyond the cars themselves—it’s about the environment where they’re showcased. Budds’ Jaguar and Land Rover Dealership in Oakville, Ontario, exemplifies this with its stunning 80,000 sq. ft. facility, completed in 2018. This state-of-the-art automotive retail space, designed by R.H. Carter Architects Inc., not only reflects the prestige of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands but also showcases the cutting-edge performance of DELTA®-VENT SA, a game-changing product from Dörken Systems Inc.

A Premium Building Deserves Premium

Protection

The Budds’ dealership, located just west of Toronto, was constructed with excellence in mind. To ensure the building matched the high standards of the vehicles it houses, the project team—led by Chart Construction Management and supported by subcontractor Sobotec—chose DELTA®-VENT SA as the cornerstone of the building’s exterior wall system. This high-performance membrane was applied across the entire dealership, delivering unmatched protection and efficiency.

Why DELTA®-VENT SA Stands Out

DELTA®-VENT SA is a revolutionary product that combines airtightness with vapor permeability, creating a continuous water-, air-, and weather-tight barrier. Here’s what makes it exceptional:

• Moisture Management: DELTA®-VENT SA prevents harmful moisture from entering the building while allowing any trapped moisture within the walls to escape. This dual functionality eliminates the risk of mold and other moisture-related issues, ensuring a healthy and durable structure.

• Energy Efficiency: By sealing unintended gaps in the building envelope, DELTA®-VENT SA eliminates air and energy leakage, contributing to a comfortable, energy-efficient environment—a top priority for modern construction.

• Industry-Leading Standards: The membrane meets the rigorous ASTM E2357 airtightness requirements, is part of NFPA 285-compliant wall assemblies, and is Red List Compliant (DECLARE) with a Health Product Declaration® (HPD 2.0) for LEED® 4.0, making it a top choice for sustainable and high-performance projects.

Seamless Installation, Superior Results

The installation of DELTA®-VENT SA at Budds’ dealership was a resounding success, thanks to its practical design and ease of use. Sobotec, a trusted partner in several Budds’ projects, noted that this was their first large-scale application of DELTA®-VENT SA—and it exceeded expectations. The membrane’s roll size and manageable dimensions streamlined the installation process, allowing the team to work efficiently across the expansive 80,000 sq. ft. structure. From selection to application, the process was smooth, quick, and complication-free, with Dörken’s North American facility providing excellent support to keep the project on track.

A Legacy of Excellence

For over 40 years, Budds’ has built a reputation for unparalleled service and quality in the luxury automotive industry. The Oakville dealership continues this legacy, with DELTA®-VENT SA playing a critical role in protecting the building from the elements while enhancing its performance and longevity. This premium facility not only elevates the customer experience but also sets a new standard for automotive retail design.
