September 14, 2018
What is a Back Up Wall Assembly?
- Back Up Wall Assemblies provide a alternate universal barrier wall solution to traditional multi-component wall systems
- Back Up Wall Assemblies incorporate a single component insulated wall panel that is thermally efficient and provides the ideal air, vapor and water barrier that supports a secondary metal rain screen system
- Back Up Wall Assemblies combine the benefits of Insulated Metal Panels with the aesthetics of multiple architectural metal facades and colors
Back Up Wall Benefits:
- Structures can be quickly closed in to ensure weathertightness over traditional multi-part facades
- Provides an economical solution to conventional air, vapor and water control while providing superior thermal performance
- Uniform temperature distribution throughout the wall
- Reduces construction delays associated with multiple trades
- Allows for faster project completion and reduces building occupant disruption
