pro clima’s TEEE-based weather resistive barriers feature a non-porous, monolithic film that blocks liquid water and prevents salt-laden air and dissolved salts from passing through to the building structure. The film remains stable in coastal environments, maintaining its waterproof and vapour-permeable properties despite prolonged exposure to salty sea air.
Traditional loose wall wraps are failing under extreme wind pressures. Discover how the fully adhered FORTX™ and FORTX™ MELIOR systems are setting a new benchmark in facade performance, offering total design freedom, early close-in, and standalone AS/NZS 4284 compliance.
Pro Clima put FORTX and FORTX MELIOR through AS/NZS 4284 with the cladding left off, and the systems still passed. Here's what changes when the weather defence is already done before the façade goes up.
Protecting the building structure early with high-performance weather barriers allows interior trades to begin work before cladding is installed, reducing construction delays without compromising moisture management.

It is very important that all aspects of the window are taken into consideration, including the frame system, double glazing, window size, and the connections between the window and the wall.
Building science is well-established in Europe, Canada, and the US, but terminology varies between countries, especially in emerging architecture, engineering, and construction fields.
