Building Envelope
Building Envelope Restoration in the Lower Mainland
The building envelope is a physical barrier that separates your home or building from the elements outside. There are a number of different components to the building envelope, including:
Walls - Windows - Doors - Roofs
The above components work together as a system to protect the interior space of the building from environmental factors like, rain, wind, temperature changes, humidity and UV rays.
For a more detailed definition of building envelope, see this resource "What is Building Envelope?" from Homeowner Protection Office Branch of BC Housing.
Westcoast Roofing System provides services to help maintain and repair the buildings' envelope, including but not limited to:
Rain screen wall technology - which increases the rate of moisture removal within a wall - is very important in the Lower Mainland due to the high humidity.
Deck replacement includes the surrounding walls and flashing as well as the deck membrane itself. Proper transitional detailing are important to prevent future leakage.
Windows and cladding are components of the buildings envelope and are incorporated into the rain screen design through transitional detailing.
At Westcoast we have the experience, knowledge and skilled work force to design, fabricate and install the necessary waterproof membranes and custom metal flashings.
