Masonry Cavity Wall Design

Provider: Mason Contractors Association of America
Discipline: Masonry Products
Credits: 1.50

This program will provide the design and contractor community with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions when specifying a simple solution for exceptional long-term thermal insulating performance and excellent air/vapor barrier capability in brick and block walls.

• Two well-known, trusted and proven products come together — STYROFOAM™ CAVITYMATE™ Ultra and GREAT STUFF PRO™ Gaps & Cracks — to form the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System
• Delivers one solution for continuous insulation and air/vapor barrier
• Meets code for continuous insulation AND air barrier
• ASTM E2357 — air leakage testing
• Approved air barrier assembly by ABAA
• Simple to detail for easy, yet high quality, field installation
• STYROFOAM CAVITYMATE Ultra
• Maximum effective thermal performance (R5.6/inch); back by 50 year thermal warranty
• Outperforms in high moisture cavity wall applications

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding of the design history and background of block cavity walls
• Understanding of the cavity wall environment and the importance of how wall design affects moisture, air and energy within the wall system
• Understanding of how a simple wall design controls air, moisture and energy loss
• Understanding of how to properly install the components of this simple wall design
• Understanding of building code requirements as it relates to mass walls
• Overview of how wall design affects LEED credits

The webinar will be presented by Dan Tempas, Sr. Building Scientist. Dan Tempas is a graduate of The University of Illinois with a degree in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Nuclear Engineering.
