Carlisle has provided architects and specifiers with specification, details, and design tools since the introduction of EPDM roof membranes more than 50 years ago. Since then, Carlisle has evolved into a leading single-ply roofing company that manufactures: TPO, PVC, and KEE HP membranes, Polyiso and EPS insulation, and air/vapor barriers. Many of Carlisle’s products meet or exceed the sustainability criteria for LEED, IgCC, and California’s Title 24.

Stay up-to-date on Carlisle’s single-ply product portfolio by visiting the architect and specifier web page: www.carlislesyntec.com/architects.

Here’s what Carlisle’s site has to offer:

• External Spec Tools: Arcat, SpekLink, Masterspec

The CCW NFPA 285 animation app on the Carlisle Coatings and Waterproofing website has been developed to help design professionals offer wall assemblies options that comply with the NFPA 285 test.

Combined with extensive product testing and design, this guide can help a designer choose from over 2,000 possible NFPA approved wall assemblies.

After working through the interactive animation portion of the app, the resulting file can be saved and used in a specification to build NFPA compliant wall assemblies, while utilizing CCW R2+ wall insulation products.

Check it out here.

As always, if you have any questions or you would like to discuss a project where Carlisle Syntec Or Carlisle Coatings and Waterproofing may help determine your specification approach, please contact your local Luna & Associates Representative to discuss in further detail.

Luna & Associates of Kansas City has recently been named the sales representative for the Carlisle Coatings and Waterproofing line in western Missouri and Kansas.

The CCW line includes below grade and between slab waterproofing, air and vapor barrier (AVB) products for walls and R2+ Wall Insulation.

As we promote these products to the architectural and owner communities, one of our pushes is going to be promoting the single source envelope concept as Carlisle is one of a very few manufacturers who cannot only offer all the products needed to complete the sealing of the envelope; but, also has developed details that show very clearly how to tie roofs to air and vapor barriers and AVB to below-grade waterproofing.

We have found on a number of recent projects that the architect was keenly aware of the need and importance to create these detail tie ins; but, had little background in how to do this effectively. We have found that leaving this in the hands of the contractors as the building was going up, is a potentially poor and dangerous option for all parties involved. So we simply wanted to make you aware that we have some resources to assist you in the event you were put into this position.

Some of you are also either already involved in Air and Vapor Barrier installations or have partnered with other companies to provide a package for the envelope. If that is the case, we would appreciate the opportunity to show you what the CCW/Syntec system is all about and would welcome the chance to do a presentation for you on the Carlisle Nvelop System.
