System / Material / Product Selection, Specification Guidance

PL:BECS can provide guidance in the selection of appropriate flashing materials.

PL:BECS can select under-slab waterproofing systems suited to the site conditions.

PL:BECS can assist with the selection and proper specification of a wide range of products and materials used in exterior enclosures.  Project-specific factors, such as climate, budgetary constraints, construction scheduling requirements, and similar considerations are always integrated into PL:BECS recommendations of specific products or materials.

Enclosure systems and products are too numerous to list comprehensively, but include low-shrinkage concrete, injection grouts, structural clay masonry, glass-block, as well as brick and stone veneer claddings, wood and gypsum sheathing products, wood and engineered-wood framing lumber, building wrap and vapor barriers, sub-slab and sub-grade wall waterproofing systems, penetrating water repellants for concrete and masonry, all types of low-slope and sloped roofing, all types of exterior wall claddings, membrane and sheet metal flashings, joint sealants, residential windows as well as store-front and curtain-wall window systems and overhead glazing and skylights, under-tile membranes, drainage mats, corrosion-inhibiting and elastomeric coatings, and related materials.
