Commercial Building Envelope System Learning Center

For over 80 years, Henry products and systems have helped manage the flow of water, air, vapor, and energy through the building envelope. From foundation to roof, our solutions improve the energy efficiency, livability and sustainability of commercial and residential structures, for the benefit of the owner, occupant and the environment.

Most importantly, our experience has confirmed that the building envelope needs to be viewed as a holistic system – from roof to wall to foundation – offering a last line of defense from the elements. Today, our Building Envelope Systems include an entire portfolio of interrelated solutions to help you meet the challenges you face.
