Description

TERM Flashing is a flexible, self-adhesive, non-structural membrane designed to act as a waterproofing, air, and pest exclusion barrier—specifically targeting the intersection between horizontal concrete slabs and exterior sheathing. This membrane serves as a physical termite barrier and has over two decades of university-backed entomological testing. Certified to meet ICC AC 380 (ICC-ESR 3632) criteria, TRM Flashing offers high-performance protection in both residential and commercial structures while supporting sustainable, non-chemical pest control solutions.

Features & Benefits

  • ICC-ESR 3632 Certified: Only flashing membrane meeting AC 380 termite physical barrier standards
  • Dual Barrier Protection: Blocks air, moisture, and all pests—including termites
  • Cold-Weather Application: Installs at temperatures as low as 30°F (-1°C)
  • UV Exposure Resistant: Can remain uncovered for up to 30 days
  • Flexible & Self-Adhesive: Conforms to sheathing and structural transitions
  • Chemical-Free Pest Control: Supports LEED® IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategies
  • High Performance: Outstanding elongation, peel adhesion, and puncture resistance
  • Low-VOC Compatible: Use with Polyguard® 650 WB or LT liquid adhesives

? Not Compatible With: Substrates containing solvents, plasticizers, uncured silicone, polyurethanes, or PVC.

Application Details

  • Surface Preparation:
    • Clean, dry, smooth, and debris-free surface required
    • Remove sharp edges or protrusions
    • Do not apply over caulks or sealants with plasticizers or solvents
  • Priming:
    • For ≥40°F: Use Polyguard 650 WB at 350–400 sq. ft./gal
    • For ≥30°F: Use Polyguard 650 LT or California Sealant at 250–300 sq. ft./gal
    • Allow to dry 30–60 minutes until tack-free
  • Installation:
    • Cut TRM Flashing to length
    • Begin from the lowest point and work upward
    • Peel 6–12" of liner, position, and press in place
    • Apply with 2" side laps and 2" weather-lapped vertical overlaps
    • Roll firmly with hand roller for full adhesion
    • Seal edges, terminations, and penetrations with Detail Sealant PW™
  • Storage:
    • Store at 50°F–75°F in dry, shaded area
    • Do not double-stack pallets or stack over 5 ft high
