Greenhaven's house wrap and window flashing tape deliver the ideal balance between water intrusion protection and moisture vapor breath-ability. The unique construction of the house-wrap protects against the elements-while being extraordinarily durable and UV stable. FortiFlash's window flashing tape is engineered to deliver lasting protection against water intrusion in the most demanding environmental conditions. Greenhaven's house wrap was installed by Quality Housewrap Installation.
The Fortifiber Building Systems Group has an extensive line of weather-resistive barriers, flashings, and sealants; comprising the ultimate moisture control system for walls – all backed by the industry’s most comprehensive warranty. The products provide superior protection from moisture intrusion, and are guaranteed to be completely compatible.
Environmentally sustainable products and practices are nothing new to Fortifiber. In fact the ForeSight Green Building Program began in 1996 - a full decade before it was fashionable to be 'green'. The focus of our product line has always been to improve building durability by protecting it from the damage moisture can cause - while increasing the energy efficiency of the building envelope. Fortifiber's environmental commitment goes beyond our product line to how we do business every day.
We have strategically located our plants to be no further than 500 miles from 60% of housing starts in the United States. This affords the opportunity to cut carbon emissions from transportation, while speeding our delivery times.
Our marketing materials have been printed on recycled paper with soy based inks for almost a decade.
In 2006 alone, we were able to cut power consumption by 50% in our Georgia manufacturing plant, by working with local utility companies to find new ways to conserve energy.
We have invested heavily in reprocessing equipment which recycles industrial waste plastic from our own plants and the local manufacturing community. This technology makes it possible to manufacture plastic films from 100% recycled materials, instead of virgin petroleum based resins and divert approximately 2 million pounds of polymer waste from landfills.
In 2007 we were able to cut the carbon footprint of our headquarters building in half by consolidating wasted space, employing programmable thermostats, installing energy star appliances and changing our lighting systems.
Fortifiber is a family owned business that has been in operation for over 69 years. Managed by the second and third generations of the family, with the fourth generation in the wings, we take very seriously our role in minimizing the company's environmental footprint.
WeatherSmart® Housewrap WeatherSmart represents a new generation in housewrap technology, offering an intelligent housewrap solution - one that delivers the ideal balance between water intrusion protection and moisture vapor breathability; so it can be used in any climate and behind most exterior claddings. The product is a polymeric weather-resistive barrier, utilizing a high-strength nonwoven substrate and a monolithic non-perforated coating of smart polymers. Its unique construction protects against the elements-while being extraordinarily durable and UV stable. FortiFlash® FortiFlash is engineered to deliver lasting protection against water intrusion in the most demanding environmental conditions. It is the premium self-adhesive waterproof flashing membrane for windows. It is also ideally suited for flashing non-roofing horizontal conditions such as pot shelves, parapets, sill pans and recessed windows. Its strong adhesion makes it a perfect choice for sealing around common through-wall penetrations such as hose bibs, vents, electrical boxes and exterior lights. Yet, its price makes FortiFlash the price/performance solution for the most challenging construction requirements. Reinforced by a strong cross-laminated high-density polyethylene film, FortiFlash can be installed around protrusions and into the tightest corners without delaminating or tearing. Its self-sealing rubberized asphalt core stays in place in the most punishing weather conditions. Available in 25 and 40 mil versions, there is a FortiFlash designed to fit your needs.
Moistop® Sealant Moistop Sealant is a quality polyurethane sealant that is designed to be compatible with wood, vinyl and aluminum flanges, Jumbo Tex® building paper, WeatherSmart®, FortiWrap®, PlyDry® and all Fortifiber flashings. It is the most logical choice for window and door installations and a variety of other building applications. Moistop Sealant delivers excellent adhesion, compatibility, durability and moisture resistance to prevent water leaks and the expensive callbacks they cause. Exceeding ASTM C-920 and AAMA 808.3-92 (Exterior Perimeter Sealing Compounds) standards, Moistop Sealant makes it easy to get extraordinary results from an ordinary caulking gun. A continuous bead on the window nail flange gives long lasting protection against moisture infiltration. And even though Moistop Sealant is tough enough to repair torn weather-resistive barriers, it is smooth enough to take paint in visible application areas.
