More Lunch and Learns

Our lunch and learns have been plentiful over the last few weeks. Not only have we gotten new information but often AIA credits. About 12 credits are needed yearly to maintain your architectural licensing (each state has slightly diffferent requirements).

Last weeks Lunch and Learn was on roof and wall sheathing. Michael Machernis with Huber Engineering Woods presented the need for minimizing water penetration, air leakage and water vapor while presenting their Advantech flooring and Zip System. The Zip System offers built-in moisture barriers and offers a pressure-sensitive tape designed for temperature extremes to reduce air leakages.

This weeks Lunch and Learn on flooring was presented by David Cameron of B.K.M. Total Office and Carrie Bartucca of Michael Halebian & Co. They stressed the often over-looked importance of the:
Sub-floor preparation work,
Asbestos abatement and
Moisture testing to insure the manufacturer's installation and manufacturers warranty requirements are met.
