The Proline Series : was developed in response to water penetrating the building envelope in the construction industry. Realizing that unlike roof systems, most exterior wall systems are not built for long term water exposure. Although built in a weather board fashion so water flows over each component, most designs are flawed in that there is not proper flashing detail at junction and termination points. “Caulk it” has been the mind set for too long and that is a temporary solution to prevent water penetration. Just give it time and it will fail. www.theprolineseries.com
