Asphalt saturated felts and papers are perhaps among the most commonly used, yet least understood, materials in the construction industry.

At the end of the course, the participants will:

• Be able to distinguish between asphalt saturated felts and papers
• Understand the industry standards and Code
• Have the knowledge to properly specify a weather resistive barrier material that is best suited for the local environment and application
