GENYK’s Duraflex F46 Waterproofing Membrane
Now CCMC Certified!
In Peace Country, Alberta, our buildings face deep-freeze, hydrostatic pressure and marathon UV exposure. Sudden thaws, blowing rain, spring run-off and months of freeze–thaw cycles test every joint, seam and penetration. At Fusion Foam, we help build for that reality, not just for a quick fix, and that’s why we’re very picky about the tools and materials we use in our community. We’re excited to share the news that one of our main products, the Duraflex F46 Waterproofing Membrane, has recently been certified as compliant by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre.
What CCMC certification means for spray foam insulation
CCMC is Canada’s national evaluation service for construction products and systems. Its role is to assess whether a product meets Canada’s codes and referenced standards, then publish a public evaluation that specifiers and inspectors can trust. When a membrane earns CCMC compliance it signals that the formulation, performance data and application method have been reviewed by an independent authority. Builders can reference a CCMC listing in project documentation, authorities can accept it with confidence and owners can feel better about the product guarding their investment. You can learn more about the program here at the Canadian Construction Materials Centre website, which explains how evaluations help ensure code compliance for materials used across the country: Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC).
For our customers, the headline is simple. Duraflex F46 now carries third-party validation that matches the conditions we see on northern sites. The testing behind the certification focuses on things that matter here, like adhesion, crack-bridging, water resistance and long-term exposure. That aligns with how we design our assemblies on foundations, walls and tricky transitions where seams typically fail. It also supports efficient schedules because spray-applied membranes cure quickly in cool shoulder seasons, which lets trades keep moving without days of downtime.
Because we install both the exterior water barrier and the interior insulation, we look at the whole envelope. A certified, monolithic membrane outside helps the inside perform better. When the exterior resists water under pressure and moves with the structure, our interior spray foam insulation can do its job of air sealing and thermal control without being asked to compensate for moisture problems. That combination is why we have standardized on this pairing for new builds and retrofits that see wind, temperature swings and ground moisture.
How the Duraflex F46 upgrade helps Peace Country builds
Most failures we are called to fix share the same pattern. Water sneaks through a seam, a cold joint or a poorly detailed penetration, then tracks into the assembly. In winter that moisture freezes and expands, which opens small gaps into bigger ones. In spring the cycle repeats under meltwater and wind-driven rain. A continuous, spray-applied membrane interrupts that pattern because it has no joints to fail and it wraps around corners, pilasters and pipe penetrations without cuts. Duraflex F46 bonds to the substrate, stretches to keep small cracks bridged and forms a tough shell that stands up to backfill.
On the warm side, our spray foam insulation closes air leaks and delivers high R-value in a thin profile. The air seal reduces condensation risk because warm interior air can’t reach a cold surface and drop water where you can’t see it. That’s why many clients feel rooms warm faster and stay even after a foam upgrade. If you want a quick overview of where foam brings the most value in our climate, start here: spray foam insulation. We cover rim joists, pony walls, shops and steel buildings where drafts rob comfort and energy.
The synergy shows up in real life. Homes and shops we’ve treated with this system stay drier at the slab edge, smell fresher during chinooks and shrug off spring run-off that used to leave damp stripes. Agricultural clients tell us wash bays and barns clean up easier because surfaces shed water instead of absorbing it. Contractors appreciate that the membrane sprays quickly and cures fast, which helps on compressed fall timelines when frost threatens. Inspectors appreciate a CCMC-backed product they can verify in the listing, which streamlines approvals and avoids rework.
If your basement sweats or your shop goes clammy when temperatures swing, this upgrade targets the root cause. It is not just about piling on R-value. It is about managing water outside, stopping air movement inside and letting the assembly dry predictably.
If you are planning a build or tackling a leak path that has outlasted other fixes, get in touch for a free project quote! We will look at grading, drainage and exposure, then propose a package that pairs the CCMC-compliant Duraflex F46 membrane outside with the right foam inside. We work across Peace River, Valleyview and High Level and we schedule to hit fall’s best curing windows. To book a site visit or request a quote, reach out now! We will help you head into winter with a tighter, drier structure that is ready for long nights and hard wind.
