TYPAR’s growing range of weather protection products and innovative technologies ensures the right fit for any project.
In the world of construction, precision and innovation are essential, particularly when it comes to protecting building envelopes from moisture intrusion. Flashings play a pivotal role, and TYPAR is at the forefront, offering a range of solutions tailored to varying project needs. With a commitment to performance and cutting-edge technology, TYPAR’s offerings redefine expectations for flashing materials.
Why Flashings Matter
Flashings seal critical transitions, such as windows, doors, and roof penetrations, against water infiltration. Historically, asphalt-based flashings were the go-to choice for construction. However, each generation of flashing technology brought improvements in durability, ease of use, and environmental resilience.
Moreover, asphalt flashings suffer from limited temperature resilience. They can lose their adhesive strength when temperatures drop below 50°F and often fail to bond effectively below 40°F. Conversely, at extremely high temperatures, asphalt can soften and begin to flow, compromising the integrity of the seal.
Acrylic flashings resist UV damage and heat degradation far more effectively than asphalt or butyl. Advanced cross-linking of the polymer chains enhances an acrylic tape’s molecular stability, allowing it to retain adhesive strength for years, even in harsh environments.
TYPAR Flashing Solutions
TYPAR’s approach to flashings addresses a wide spectrum of project demands, offering solutions from cost-effective reliability to cutting-edge performance.
TYPAR Butyl Flashing
Our everyday, go-to, affordable flashing was specially formulated for performance—and with no VOCs. TYPAR Butyl Flashing boasts compatibility with most caulks and sealants used for window installation. It also performs over a broad temperature range, delivering a durable, long-lasting seal (which aren’t benefits you’ll get with rubberized asphalt-based alternatives).
TYPAR All-Temperature Flashing
Need a flashing with a wider range of temperature stability? TYPAR All-Temperature Flashing has you covered. This extreme-conditions champ doesn’t get brittle when it’s bitterly cold out, making it suitable for installation down to 0° F. Plus, it stays stable and strong when temperatures climb. With a split poly backing and the power to self-seal around nail penetrations, it makes your job easier, too.
TYPAR Clear Acrylic Flashing – A Revolutionary Advancement
Leading the way in innovation, TYPAR Clear Acrylic Flashing is the first of its kind on the market. This breakthrough product addresses a persistent challenge: ensuring fastener patterns around windows and doors are visible during installation and inspection.
Unlike traditional opaque flashings, the clear acrylic design allows inspectors to verify nail and screw fin patterns without extra steps, reducing labor time and costs. By making work visible, clear flashings align with modern standards for accountability and reduce callbacks caused by installation errors.
Our advanced acrylic adhesive ensures excellent waterproofing and UV resistance while maintaining flexibility for long-term performance. The viscoelastic properties of acrylic ensure a strong, flexible bond, accommodating structural movement while resisting degradation over time.
TYPAR Clear Acrylic Flashing not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances project quality and sustainability, setting a new industry benchmark.
