What Is a Building Envelope?
A building envelope is the physical barrier that separates the interior of a building from the outside environment. It includes the roof, exterior walls, windows, doors, foundations, waterproofing systems, flashing, and sealants that work together to protect the structure from moisture, air infiltration, temperature changes, and weather.
Regular inspections and proactive maintenance help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. Building envelope services improve long-term building performance, reduce energy loss, and help protect structural components from water intrusion and deterioration.
