The DELTA®-FASSADE S is a high-performance water-resistive barrier (WRB) meticulously engineered for modern open-joint cladding systems.
Product Details and Core Benefits
The DELTA®-FASSADE S stands out in the market due to its unique composition and exceptional capabilities, making it the ideal choice for architects and builders working with contemporary facade designs.
-
Unrivaled UV Stability: Unlike conventional building wraps, DELTA®-FASSADE S is constructed with polyester substrates and a highly UV-stabilized acrylic coating.
This specialized formulation guarantees the membrane will not degrade under permanent UV exposure, allowing for up to 50% open area in the facade with joints up to 2 inches (50 mm) wide. -
Superior Watertight Protection: Its robust, tear-resistant, and waterproof coating creates an effective drainage plane, efficiently directing wind-driven rain and snow away from the building's structural components.
This prevents moisture intrusion and safeguards against water damage. -
Industry-Leading Vapor Permeability: Boasting the highest vapor permeability in the industry (over 300 perms), DELTA®-FASSADE S ensures that moisture vapor can readily escape from the wall cavity.
This critical feature prevents condensation buildup, promoting a healthy and dry interior environment. -
Enhanced Aesthetic Integration: The matte black finish of the membrane eliminates glare during installation and repair.
More importantly, it provides a sleek, uniform background that visually complements and accentuates high-end open-joint cladding materials such as Trespa, Swisspearl, Eternit, Fundermax, and Cembrit/AFCC. -
Effortless Installation: Lightweight and highly tear-resistant, DELTA®-FASSADE S simplifies the installation process.
It is suitable for both metal and wood stud construction, ensuring fast, easy, and reliable application. -
Comprehensive Code Compliance: DELTA®-FASSADE S holds approvals under the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) (ICC ESR-2932) and is NFPA 285 compliant.
This verifies its performance and safety for a wide range of commercial and residential projects. -
Boosted Energy Efficiency: By acting as a formidable air and moisture barrier, DELTA®-FASSADE S significantly contributes to the thermal performance of the building, leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.
