SUSTAINABILITY
STARTS IN THE WALL-CAVITIES.
WHAT'S THE VALUE OF A BUILDING
IF ITS EXTERIOR WALLS FAIL?
Every building's most common enemy is unwanted moisture. It weakens structural elements and spawns hazardous mold, often leading to costly remediation-even demolition-thereby erasing its value.
That's why designers are careful to install good moisture-controls inside the building. Yet it's the outside walls that are constantly under assault by rain, snow, and condensation. If it remains trapped in the wall cavities, this natural moisture can cause wall-damage or mold-growth (invisible until it's too late).
True "value-engineering" calls for a system that drains walls, faithfully & reliably, far into the future.
TOTALFLASH's long-term value lies in its multiple moisture control methods that are pre-assembled onto each handy, 5-foot panel of flexible flashing. Greater protection greater longevity.
And its short-term value is that it can save you HALF the Time-&-Labor cost (or more) of installing ordinary flashing-details! Even ONE man can install it! Also, there's no hand-cutting of imprecise lengths of unwieldy flashing rolls, and since it's "all-in-one," there's no waiting, day after day, for multiple deliveries!
