Drift Head-of-wall (DHW) is used in deflection conditions for in-fill curtain wall assemblies and/or interior nonload-bearing partitions to provide for both vertical (deflection) and lateral (drift) movement.

The built environment, which includes commercial and residential structures, is estimated to account for approximately 40% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Measured across the supply chain, these emissions are classified into three different scopes: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Understanding these scopes is fundamental to improving sustainable practices and achieving reduction goals.

In the evolving world of construction, effective moisture management is more crucial than ever. With advances in building codes, increased climate variability, and greater expectations for building longevity, construction teams are increasingly focusing on building envelope solutions to protect structures from the damaging effects of water infiltration. One of the most reliable ways to achieve this is through a well-designed rainscreen system. Rainscreens, which offer drainage and ventilation pathways, prevent moisture buildup and protect structural integrity over time.
