The Proline Series<\/strong> was created by Greg Harrison<\/strong> and Steve Preston<\/strong> in response to water penetrating the building envelope in the construction industry. Greg has over 30 years in the insurance industry and Steve over 25 years in the water restoration business. Steve holds both a Certified General Contractor License and a Roofing Contractors License from the State of Florida.<\/p>\n Over the years we have come to realize that unlike roof systems, most exterior wall systems are not built for long term water exposure. Although built in a weather board fashion so water flows over each component, the design is flawed in that there is not proper flashing detail at junction and termination points. \u201cCaulk it\u201d has been the mind set for too long and, as we all know, that is a temporary solution to prevent water penetration. Just give it time and it will fail.<\/p>\n It\u2019s past time for horizontal technology to go vertical! We have seen countless examples of water penetrating the building envelope causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Industry-wide, water and mold cause millions of dollars in damage annually.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why we developed the ProLine Series of Flashings and teamed up with TAMLYN to introduce a better way to help prevent water intrusion with building using fiber cement siding. The ProLine Plank Flashing and ProLine Trim Flashing are specifically designed to prevent water penetration at the butt-joint and termination joints.<\/p>\n No more relying on caulk and housewrap as the primary defense against water intrusion. The ProLine Series of Flashing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>diverts water-flow eliminating the need for caulking. Now, the housewrap can be used for its original purpose, a secondary layer of protection, not the first line of defense. Our new line of water resistant products is re-inventing the way building envelopes are constructed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/innovations-ideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cropped-cropped-ProLine-Series-logo.jpg” title_text=”cropped-cropped-ProLine-Series-logo” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”right” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ animation_style=”fade” animation_duration=”1650ms” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Why Choose Us?” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_duration=”1600ms” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The creators of\u00a0<\/span>The ProLine Series<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>believe the focus of the water proofing attention should be on the exterior, not necessarily on the interior building envelope. Our philosophy is the building envelope should be constructed with gaskets, much like your car\u2019s oil pan or your everyday garden hose. \u00a0A gasket is needed to keep liquid, water in this case, from leaking! We feel protecting the sub-wall with the proper flashing, house-wrap, etc. should act as an insurance policy at best, not the primary deterrent.<\/p>\n Subsequently, our efforts have been to address the following types of areas for water prevention:<\/p>\n We are developing systems that are designed to help eliminate these problems. In the first twelve months of inception, Innovations & Ideas, LLC introduced five separate designs intended to reduce or prevent water intrusion at critical points of the building envelope. We have teamed up with\u00a0<\/span>TAMLYN<\/a>, a national manufacturer of building components and are aggressively working on the development of new products to bring to market.<\/p>\nMission Statement<\/h3>\n
