Key initiatives
Protective Glazing -
Protection against manmade and natural disasters is a key concern for
today’s owners, specifiers, architects and contractors. Tremco’s structural silicone glazing
bonds glass to a curtain wall’s structural framing members, transferring dynamic wind loads
and impact from the glass through the structural silicone sealant to the curtainwall framing.
The structural silicone sealants, which have been tested with major curtainwall and window
manufacturers in North America, provide the excellent adhesion, tensile strength and
flexibility critical to withstanding wind cycle loads and missile impacts. The industry’s most
stringent performance standards have been either met or exceeded for hurricane, impact and
blast resistance.
Green Building -
The environmental impact of buildings is becoming increasingly more
apparent every day. As awareness has grown, new earth- friendly products have been
developed and other breakthroughs in building science, technology and operations in order to
provide healthier and more resource-efficient construction. Tremco Commercial Sealants &
Waterproofing has focused resources on being at the leading edge of that movement with
innovative product offerings, comprehensive technical resources and by having a Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional (AP) on staff, one of
only a handful in the manufacturing segment. This commitment to Green Building enables
Tremco to help customers facilitate sustainable design and LEED application documents by
providing the knowledge and guidance necessary for implementation. A database of LEED,
Energy Star™ and other documentation for all Tremco products is maintained on this website
to facilitate LEED submittals. Tremco is also teaming up with independent academic and government entities to monitor
the life-cycle benefits of green roof technology and provide data needed by building owners
to consider these environmentally responsible building strategies.
Green Roofs -
Few products provide as comprehensive a solution to as broad a range of
concerns and issues as green roofs. Cities are struggling to cope with growth and economic
development. Combined sewage overflow systems in 900 cities and towns across the U.S.
are overwhelmed by excess stormwater runoff, releasing untreated water to surface water
bodies. Rainwater itself is often contaminated with a wide range of airborne contaminants
from hydrocarbons to VOCs, pesticides and heavy metals. Urban areas maintain ambient
temperatures as much as 10º F. higher than surrounding or rural areas, increasing cooling
loads of all buildings, energy consumption and the creation of harmful smog. Green roofs
can provide a solution to these problems. They effectively reduce stormwater runoff, prolong
roof life, improve the energy performance of buildings and cut peak electricity demand,
improve air quality, improve urban ecology and even reduce noise. Tremco has developed a
cost-effective, high performance green roof system to help encourage building owners to
consider this environmentally responsible building strategy.
Air Barriers -
Air leakage is an extremely efficient means of transporting moisture. As hot,
humid air contacts colder surfaces/temperatures condensation occurs and moisture
accumulates, creating a potential breeding ground for mold, mildew and other airborne
organisms. The control of air leakage and the resulting moisture accumulation can help
prevent structural damage. In addition, controlling air leakage also improves the indoor air
quality of a building and provides significant energy efficiencies since it is estimated that air
leakage can account for as much as 40% of a structure’s heat loss/gain. Tremco offers an air
barrier system that has been thoroughly tested to meet or exceed the most rigorous standards
for air permeability, ensuring extended building durability and energy efficiency.
Firestopping -
Firestopping, or passive fire protection, is designed to contain fire and smoke
from infiltrating the rest of the building. Installed during construction, firestopping, in the
event of a fire, saves lives and property by containing damaging flames and gasses. Required
by commercial building codes such as the International Building Code, firestopping systems
are tested at independent laboratories to ensure proper fire ratings. Tremco offers
intumescent products – sealants and devices – that expand when exposed to fire to close off
annular spaces or openings in fire walls, preventing the spread of smoke and fire.
Residential Barrier Solutions -
Barrier Solutions for the residential building envelope are
the practical application of the science and technology behind building science to control the
movement of moisture, heat and gas throughout the structure. Leveraging the technical
capability, experience and innovation gained over 20 years in the residential foundation
waterproofing industry, Tremco Barrier Solutions will bring to market other systems that will
provide energy savings, moisture control and increased satisfaction to builders and
homeowners alike. One of these innovations is the Above-Grade Foundation Finishing
System, which incorporates seamless waterproofing protection from footer to sill plate while
insulating the exposed above- grade portion of the foundation wall – an area that accounts for
as much as 40% of a home’s energy loss.
