The Audain Art Museum in Whistler, BC, is an architectural marvel. Like many of the masterpieces housed within, the details are worth a closer look 🧑🎨 Up close, visitors will notice the museum sits on six concrete piers. Patkau Architects implemented this design feature to accommodate the unique geological conditions stemming from a nearby creek. To protect the museum's foundation, the team used DELTA®-DRAIN to effectively channel water away from the concrete piers, preventing moisture accumulation and potential structural damage.

A fire station is an icon of safety, part of the community, and central to everyday life 🚒 🧯🧑🚒 That’s why the Lockhart Fire Rescue Headquarters in Lockhart, Texas utilized DELTA® products to reach its lofty performance and design goals. The building employs DELTA®-VENT SA and DELTA®-DRY & LATH to create a continuous water-, air-, and weather-tight barrier around the station, complemented by a complete, one-step moisture control and rainscreen system. This innovative approach ensures the building's performance and longevity in the hot and humid Texan climate ☀️ Read the full Lockhart Fire Station Headquarters project profile here: https://bit.ly/45EaJGW #DELTAbyDORKEN #ProjectProfile #FireFighting #Texas #WeatherTight

It’s true – open-joint cladding systems allow more rain and air into a wall assembly, but that means they actually tend to outperform non-exterior wood cladding systems. Why? Because of the increase in air, which allows for more drying capability. That’s a great insight, but open-joint cladding isn’t perfect for every project. To make sense of it all, we’re pleased to have Dr. Joe Lstiburek [LI: Joe Lstiburek] break down the essentials in this classic edition of “A Cup of Joe” ☕ Watch the full video with Dr. Lstiburek and learn more at DELTA® ACADEMY 🏫 https://bit.ly/3XyzVg0 #ScienceofProtection #DELTAACADEMY #OpenJointCladding
