Protecting More Than a Roof. Preserving History.

Originally constructed in 1905, MacDonough Hall at the United States Naval Academy has stood for more than a century. During its recent reroofing project, the team needed a solution that could protect the historic structure while keeping construction moving forward on an active campus.

SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered was trusted to provide early dry-in protection and long-term performance throughout the reroofing process.

When restoring historic buildings, protecting the past starts with choosing materials built to perform.

Historic Protection for a Global Icon

Work continues on the multi-year re-roofing of the American Museum of Natural History, SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered was chosen to help protect this iconic, 150-year-old structure, all while it remains open to the public.

Working above priceless exhibits and active learning spaces, the project team needed a durable, fully adhered roofing underlayment that could stand up to New York’s weather and extended construction timelines.

SlopeShield Plus delivers:
✅ Keeps bulk water out while allowing v***r to escape
✅ Fully adhered with no mechanical fasteners
✅ UV-stable for up to 6 months of exposure
✅ Ideal for staged construction and critical interior protection

When the stakes are high, trusted performance makes all the difference.

When staggered ISO or the roof membrane is used as an air barrier, moisture-laden air from the interior spaces will pe*****te the roofing assembly, resulting in performance issues and water damage.

Implementing Slopeshield Plus SA during the design phase, as a air barrier/moisture control layer, it blocks air and reduces moisture infiltration up to ~90%, enhancing roof resiliency and integrity.

Closing costs money.

During construction, the Target store remained open and operating throughout the project.

All of this was made possible with VaproShield membranes.

Critical Transitions: Achieving Air Barrier Continuity

This brand new course through Building Enclosure examines the role of continuous air barriers in improving energy efficiency, durability, and occupant comfort in commercial construction.

Modern high performance buildings demand more than independent envelope components. They require a coordinated air control strategy that begins with the details to the final building air leak testing.

Large-format industrial buildings such as data centers require continuous, high-performance building enclosure systems to safeguard the critical infrastructure within. Moisture intrusion, uncontrolled air leakage, and enclosure failures can compromise uptime, disrupt operations, and increase long-term risk.

A fully integrated roof-to-below-grade enclosure solution from VaproShield delivers continuous protection, helping preserve mission-critical assets while enhancing energy efficiency and long-term facility value.

VaproShield’s integrated air barrier systems deliver continuous, airtight protection from roof to below grade, strengthened by a strategic alliance with Polyguard—providing one system, one warranty, and complete confidence.
