What Is Spycor Building Products? Building Envelope, Waterproofing & Moisture Management Solutions

Posted by Spycor Building on Jul 8th 2024

Spycor Building Products is a U.S. distributor of building envelope and moisture-management products, including air and water-resistive barriers, below-grade waterproofing and drainage membranes, rainscreens, subfloor systems, flashing, and roofing underlayments for builders, contractors, developers, architects, and specifiers.

Founded in 2006, Spycor Building Products provides building envelope protection, below-grade waterproofing, and moisture management systems across the United States. Rather than stocking generic inventory, Spycor specializes in commercial-grade systems engineered to protect structures against moisture intrusion, air leakage, and bulk water damage from roof to foundation.

What Is Spycor Building Products?

Spycor Building Products operates as a specialized distributor connecting homebuilders, general contractors, masons, and trade specialists with moisture protection materials.

A high-performance building envelope requires components designed to function together. Spycor supplies jobsite-ready solutions that protect the complete structure:

What Building Envelope Solutions Does Spycor Supply?

To help builders identify the exact materials needed for their project specifications, Spycor categorizes its inventory by building envelope application, structural risk, and product type.

1. Below-Grade Waterproofing & Drainage

  • Application / Challenge: Foundation walls and basement footings face constant hydrostatic pressure from groundwater and soil moisture.

  • Spycor Solution: Heavy-duty dimpled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes, drainage boards, and geotextile filter composites. These products form an air gap against the wall, channeling water straight down to the footing drain before pressure can force moisture through concrete joints or porous foundation walls.

  • Core Products: DELTA®-MS, DELTA®-DRAIN, DELTA®-TERRAXX, and Platon® Foundation Wrap.

2. Water-Resistive Barriers (WRBs) & Air Barriers

  • Application / Challenge: Exterior walls must stop wind-driven rain and air leakage while allowing trapped interior moisture vapor to escape the cavity.

  • Spycor Solution: High-performance vapor-permeable and air-impermeable wraps, fully adhered sheet membranes, and fluid-applied barriers engineered for continuous air and water tightness.

  • Core Products: DELTA®-VENT SA and DELTA®-FASSADE SA.

3. Rainscreen & Ventilation Systems

  • Application / Challenge: Cladding materials such as stone, brick veneer, stucco, and wood siding trap water against exterior walls, leading to rot and premature wall assembly failure.

  • Spycor Solution: 3D filament rainscreen mats that create an unobstructed air gap behind exterior cladding. This gap allows bulk water to drain rapidly and provides continuous ventilation for wall drying.

  • Core Products: DELTA®-DRY, Mortairvent®, and Advanced Building Products rainscreens.

4. Specialized Flashing & Penetration Seals

  • Application / Challenge: Windows, doors, ledger boards, and wall penetrations (pipes, electrical conduit, HVAC lines) are common vulnerable points for water intrusion.

  • Spycor Solution: Self-adhered flashing tapes, thru-wall copper flashings, and pre-formed elastomeric penetration gaskets that form tight seals around fasteners and irregular openings.

  • Core Products: QuickFlash® weatherproof wall panels, York Flashings, and self-adhering butyl/acrylic flashing tapes.

5. Subfloor Moisture Barriers & Underlayments

  • Application / Challenge: Concrete floor slabs absorb groundwater and emit moisture vapor, which damages hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or carpet installed directly over the slab.

  • Spycor Solution: Dimpled HDPE subfloor membranes that isolate finished flooring from damp concrete, creating an air gap that allows moisture to equalize without damaging finished interiors.

  • Core Products: DELTA®-FL and Platon® Subfloor Membrane.

6. Under-Roof Moisture Management

  • Application / Challenge: Metal, slate, tile, and cedar shake roofs experience trapped condensation and ice dams that degrade roof sheathing.

  • Spycor Solution: Structured underlayments, vapor-permeable roof membranes, and ventilation mats designed to channel moisture away from the roof deck and extend roof life.

  • Core Products: DELTA®-TRELA, STRATUS SA, and CedAir-Mat®.
