Outsulation® Plus System (DUK445) The High-Performance Moisture Drainage EIF System That Incorporates An Air and Water-Resistive Barrier |
Dryvit offers a family of performance-based systems that allows architects and owners to meet the specific demands of any given project. Dryvit’s original Outsulation® System has been installed on over 350,000 buildings worldwide. Today, due to the increased demands for a wall system to be able to drain away incidental moisture, the Outsulation concept has grown into a family of related systems, each building upon the other to achieve specific performance goals.
Outsulation Plus expands upon the proven weatherability and insulating qualities of Outsulation by adding a second line of defense against air, moisture and weather. This is accomplished with a coating of Backstop NT and by applying Dryvit’s AquaFlash System or flashing tape at all sills of openings. Outsulation Plus goes one step further through the use of adhesive channels to provide moisture drainage. These channels work in tandem with either of two system termination options, resulting in an efficient and economical system that is easy to install.
The adhesive channels present in Outsulation Plus will evacuate incidental moisture that may find its way behind the insulation board. Backstop NT prevents this moisture from coming into contact with the substrate as it drains. Developed specifically for this purpose, it is a specially formulated, flexible, polymer-based, noncementitious coating that provides a watertight membrane. Always used in conjunction with a waterproof flashing material such as Dryvit AquaFlash System or flashing tape, Backstop NT is an essential element of the Outsulation Plus System. Full details regarding the performance of Backstop NT are available upon request.
