From the constant damp of the Pacific Northwest to the salt-laden winds of the Atlantic coast, water shows up differently, but relentlessly, in marine and coastal climates. In this session, Bryan Uhler (Washington State) and Wade Paquin (Newport, Rhode Island) share what it takes to build durable, resilient homes in two of the country’s most water-challenged environments. Learn how they tackle region-specific moisture and weather challenges, including: managing bulk water at grade and at the roof and wind-driven rain battering sidewalls and wall openings and dealing with persistent humidity and air infiltration.They go deep into subgrade assemblies; material and fastener selection for salt air exposure; smart detailing for siding, roofing, and flashing; ventilation and dehumidification strategies;long-term maintenance; and client education Whether you’re building near the coast or just dealing with relentless wet weather, Bryan & Wade will help you rethink your approach to assemblies, detailing, and system durability in moisture-heavy climates.
