IKO introduced two new products to its line of AquaBarrier™ air and vapour barrier solutions. IKO AcrylicStick SA and IKO AcrylicStick SA Tapes are acrylic, adhesive-backed vapour barrier membranes that provide exceptional adhesion to most surfaces.

“With their versatility, durability and convenient self-adhesion, IKO AcrylicStick SA and AcrylicStick SA Tapes demonstrate our continued commitment to developing innovative products that meet construction professionals’ needs,” said Akif Amin, vice president of IKO’s Commercial Division Canada. “Designed with an acrylic coating for extra reinforcement and critical functionality in cold temperatures, these new products ensure the protection against air and vapour that builders rely on. This combination of specialized features makes IKO’s AcrylicStick SA and IKO AcrylicStick SA Tapes a must-use product for commercial buildings.”

IKO AcrylicStick SA is a primerless, self-adhesive, non-permeable air and vapour barrier that provides extra protection and durability to keep outside elements out and inside elements in, as well as ensure wall assemblies remain dry and airtight. Completing the line are the IKO AcrylicStick SA Tapes, which use extra durability and versatility to prevent air and vapour leaks in specialized areas, such as windows, doors and skylights. Used alongside the full AquaBarrier product line, these IKO products provide superior air and vapour protection for a wide variety of commercial building needs.

IKO AcrylicStick SA and IKO AcrylicStick SA Tapes provide an effective barrier to moisture, vapour transmission and air leakage when installed according to IKO specifications, thereby protecting the integrity of the entire building. The acrylic formulation used in the products meets low volatile organic compound standards and can be used effectively in cold weather temperature applications. The membrane can be used for a variety of wall assembly applications, such as masonry cavity walls and metal cladding systems.

IKO produces a suite of asphalt low slope roofing systems, including built-up roofing, cold applied, heat welded, self-adhered and more. In addition, IKO offers building envelope, bridge deck and waterproofing membrane systems and accessories, along with wall insulation and air/vapour barrier systems.
