Professional contractors prefer to use Polyken® and Barricade® flashing tapes for reliable long-term weatherproofing that protects buildings from air and water infiltration around windows and doors, roof areas, skylights and more. All of our flashing products have been tested for compliance with ICC AC148 and AAMA 711 Test Criteria for Flashing Materials. Used as in conjunction with building envelope weatherization products such as Barricade® Housewrap, ThermoPly® structural sheathing and Barricade® seam tape, Polyken® and Barricade® brand flashing tapes ensure long term thermal and moisture protection.
