Several different W. R. MEADOWS air barrier products were installed at the Lifetime Fitness Corporate Office Headquarters in Chanhassen, MN.  W.R. Meadows’ sheet-applied, permeable air barrier, AIR-SHIELD SMP was installed on the majority of the building, while their AIR-SHIELD and AIR-SHIELD LM were installed at the maintenance access and parking garage.  In total, the project was over 30,000 feet in scope.

AIR-SHIELD SMP is a self-adhering, vapor permeable, air/liquid moisture barrier that is designed to be fully bonded to the substrate without the use of an adhesive or primer.  AIR-SHIELD SMP is a tough, durable membrane that exhibits excellent resistance to air leakage and liquid water intrusion, while at the same time allows vapor to readily pass through to allow the wall assembly to dry.

AIR-SHIELD self-adhering air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier is part of a total W. R. MEADOWS system to complete the building envelope.  It is a roll-type product that is nominally 40 mils thick. The membrane's controlled thickness is fabricated from cross-laminated polyethylene bonded to specially modified asphalt.

AIR-SHIELD LM is a single-component, liquid-applied, water-based, polymer-modified air/vapor and liquid moisture barrier. AIR-SHIELD LM cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane, which exhibits excellent resistance to air and moisture transmission.
