Division 7 Guide Specification for
3M™ Air and Vapor Barrier 3015
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 3M™ Air and Vapor Barrier 3015 is a high performance,
vapor impermeable, self-adhered membrane possessing good adhesion, elongation and self-sealing
properties that make it ideal for use as a secondary barrier behind exterior cladding systems. The membrane
material is a proprietary film developed by 3M that is unlike any other existing weather/secondary barrier
product. The adhesive contains no asphalt or butyl. Only one membrane material is needed for both the field
barrier and for penetration flashing; its unique elastic and adhesive qualities make it an ideal self-adhered
flexible flashing material at penetrations as well as for sealing around openings for doors and windows.
NOTE TO DESIGNER – VAPOR BARRIER: 3M™ Air and Vapor Barrier 3015 is a Class II vapor retarder
with a water vapor permeance of less than 1 perm (per ASTM E-96). In order to allow the use of the generic
term “barrier” to be applied to the various functions of this product (air/water/vapor barrier) it is referred to
throughout this specification as a “vapor barrier”. Proper placement of a vapor barrier within any assembly
requires an understanding of vapor diffusion and condensation dynamics; it is recommended that a
hygrothermal analysis of the assembly be performed by the designer based on the climate conditions found
at the building location so as to avoid moisture problems within the assembly due to condensation and/or
trapped moisture.
NOTE TO SPECIFIER: 3M™ Air and Vapor Barrier 3015 can be specified as a CSI 2004 MasterFormat
Specifications Group titled Section 07 25 00 - Weather Barriers, or as a CSI 2004 MasterFormat General
Requirements Subgroup titled Section 07 27 00 – Air Barriers. This guide specification must be edited to
conform to the specific barrier function(s) and requirements required by the assembly design and the
language coordinated to match the barrier callouts included on the Drawings. Select the appropriate section

AIR BARRIER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
A.
Install air barrier assembly in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions in locations shown
on the Drawings to provide a continuous air barrier [air/water/vapor barrier].
1.
Cut membrane to length and wind up into a roll. Fold the starting edge back over
itself to crease the paper release liner. Peel back the liner to expose the 2-3 inch
starting strip of the membrane. Do not contaminate the starting strip with dust or
debris before applying it to the intended surface.
2.
Stagger all vertical joints if membrane installed in “weatherboard” or “shingle
fashion”. Stagger all horizontal joints if membrane installed in vertical strips.
3.
Align and set the membrane in place, rolling the product back against the exposed
adhesive. Simultaneously unwind the roll pulling the release liner, maintaining
pressure against the substrate to tack the membrane in place. Wipe the membrane
down with a feathering motion from the middle outward to obtain a smooth surface.
4.
Lap a minimum of 2 inches on sides and ends. Roll the membrane with a rubber
roller to ensure a tight seal against the wall and between overlapped edges.
5.
Install 6 inch wide membrane at inside and outside vertical corners and construction
joints, lapping a minimum of 2 inches on either side.
6.
Carefully execute detail work to ensure a continuously sealed building
envelope.
