Hampshire, IL – W. R. MEADOWS has recently launched AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER, their newest product to support their popular AIR-SHIELD line of air barriers. AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER is a pre-mixed, cold-applied, single-component joint filler specifically designed to fill exterior sheathing joints in applications using AIR-SHIELD LM and AIR-SHIELD LMP water-based air barrier products, as well as standard AIR-SHIELD “peel and stick” membrane. AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER is designed to work with the AIR-SHIELD line of products to create a cohesive, seamless seal between joints in exterior sheathing. The appropriate AIR-SHIELD product can then be applied to create a positive, monolithic, permanent seal to protect the structure from moisture intrusion. This complete seal is a key component to keep the structure safe from the intrusion of damaging moisture, especially in joints, where even the slightest void can result in building envelope failure. When used with AIR-SHIELD LMP permeable air barrier, the use of AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER will not affect the product’s water vapor permeance. AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER is premixed and easy to apply. The product has excellent cohesive and adhesive strengths, and forms a complete building envelope protective shield when used with the AIR-SHIELD line of fluid-applied air barriers. The product is designed to fill gaps and voids larger than ¼”. For more information on AIR-SHIELD JOINT FILLER, call (847) 214-2100, e-mail info@wrmeadows.com, or visit www.wrmeadows.com.
