Moving or adding insulation to the exterior improves wall performance, but it can affect the flashing and attachment systems for wall penetrations. How do you take advantage of the benefits of exterior wall insulation without compromising window and door options? Fenestration openings are a critical component of the building envelope, especially in today's sustainable, energy-efficient buildings. Join us to discuss the impact of exterior insulation on fenestration installation design. Alongside industry experts, you'll get a chance to explore solutions for a wide variety of wall system variations.
