CBC Specialty metals is a proud distributor of VaproShield products in Ontario and Quebec. VaproShield designs and manufactures high performance, vapor permeable, water resistive barriers (WRB) and air barrier (AB) systems and accessories creating a total solution-based approach to protecting the building envelope.
Your investment in your project is worth protecting. That’s why CBC partners with VaproShield. The best roofs and envelopes deserve an envelope protection solution that is proven and designed with installer convenience in mind.
With material and labor alone, the VaproShield WRB/AB system offers up to 50% savings compared to major competitors as they have eliminated the labor intensive jobs of primer application and joint/corner taping/masking.
VaproShield membranes were inspired by a frog’s permeable, breathable skin. Just like their inspiration, they have always been green. Compliment your sustainable metal with a zero VOC membrane for the ultimate in conscientious

WrapShield IT combines the best properties of a vapour permeable membrane and an air barrier in one innovative, affordable product. WrapShield IT maintains a 50 perm rating, allowing the highest vapour permeability in a commercial quality air barrier breather membrane. Combined with Black WrapShield Flashing Rolls, this system can be used for an exposed joint design. Furthermore, WrapShield has no limit on the height at which it can be installed.
WrapShield now includes a horizontal integrated tape system, reducing installation time and material expenses. Furthermore, the male/female tape bonding process creates a seam that can be installed in any environment and which is capable of withstanding rain conditions of over 100mph blowing 8 inches of rain/hour.

VaproLiqui-Flash is a liquid applied Waterproof Flashing material for window and door interfaces. It is designed for use with VaproShield Sheet Membranes in Air Barrier and Weather Resistive Barrier applications.
VaproLiqui-Flash is a unique material formulated to bond without primers to VaproShield membranes and most common wall substrates forming a monolithic, waterproof surface while remaining permeable to water vapor.
It allows underlying moisture to escape to the exterior, reducing the potential for mold and decay that is often associated with non-permeable flashings.
