At the Building Enclosure Council Window Flashing Rodeo, held in Atlanta in April, Moon Township, Pa.-based CENTRIA’s invelope panels were installed with a commercial storefront window integrated into them. By constructing the invelope wall with the window, it was demonstrated how the invelope system is assembled, how a window can be integrated into the system and the integrity of the barrier wall. After the installation and during the test phase of the process, the invelope wall was exposed to a severe water test, showing that invelope serves as a proven back-up to brick or rainscreen systems. The BEC-Atlanta held this event to explore the design, installation and performance of various window flashing assemblies. “We are pleased that invelope was able to participate in this event. It allowed us to show how easily windows can be integrated into invelope panels and their proven ability as a backup wall system,” said Bill Hornfeck, invelope product manager.
