In the Pro Clima family of products, the ADHERO label is applied to membranes that are fully adhered . This means there’s a pressure sensitive adhesive backing across the entire membrane – a full-surface Pro Clima acrylic adhesive layer. This high-performance adhesive bonds reliably to nearly all standard construction materials— no primer or tape required , even at membrane overlaps.

ADHERO membranes can be applied in cold temperatures , installed horizontally or vertically , and are Living Building Challenge Compliant — Red List Free . Whether your goal is better airtightness, waterproofing, or long-term resilience, ADHERO is the fully adhered WRB solution that delivers on all counts.

A Systems Approach to WRBs

ADHERO 1000 and ADHERO 3000 are not just great standalone WRBs—they’re part of a complete air and moisture control system . When combined with CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ (for airtight window and door detailing) and EXTOSEAL ENCORS (for sill protection), these products form an integrated, high-performance envelope system from Pro Clima.

ADHERO 1000 & ADHERO 3000

These self-adhered, monolithic, vapor-permeable WRBs provide robust, long-lasting protection. They feature Pro Clima’s signature TEEE membrane —a non-porous, vapor-open material that transports vapor outward via molecular diffusion. This makes them actively breathable yet incredibly waterproof and airtight , with a tested water column resistance over 32 feet (10 meters) .

Unlike microporous WRBs, the unique monolithic structure of ADHERO offers more consistent, reliable protection—no risk of clogging or reduced performance over time. These membranes rely on active vapor diffusion. ADHERO 3000 is rated at 8 US perms , it hits the sweet spot for outward drying and preventing inward vapor drive. ADHERO 1000 is rated at 12 US perms offering a slightly higher vapor permeability.

Additional benefits include:

• High tear- and UV-resistant cover fleece for tough jobsite durability
• Excellent adhesion on all common substrates , without the need for primer
• No additional taping at overlaps , thanks to the integrated adhesive layer
• Split release paper backing , allowing for easy two-step installation

Both ADHERO 1000 and ADHERO 3000 have 10” (25 cm) top-release strips . They can be applied in a convenient 2-step process shown here: 

In some ways, ADHERO membranes are like a gigantic piece of TESCON VANA tape . Just like TESCON VANA requires you to ensure proper pressurization with the PRESSFIX tool, ADHERO uses a similar, but bigger applicator tool which we’ve dubbed the PRESSFIX XL . 

ADHERO 3000: UV / Weather Resistance

• Climate zone 4-8: 3 months for roofs, 6 months for walls
• Climate zone 1-3: 3 months for roofs, 4 months for walls

ADHERO 3000 is an ideal weather protection membrane for exterior gypsum-board in commercial buildings, residential pitched roofs, CLT wall construction, or any application that calls for a high performance fully-adhered WRB

ADHERO 1000: UV / Weather Resistance

• Climate zone 4-8: 3 months for walls
• Climate zone 1-3: 2 months for walls

The ADHERO 1000 is meant for wall applications . The ADHERO 1000 includes the same TEEE membrane as ADHERO 3000, but has a thinner protective fleece and adhesive. ADHERO 1000 offers a more cost effective option for wall applications without compromising on waterproofing and airsealing.

ADHERO VISTO: UV /Weather Resistance

• 3 months for mass timber floors

The ADHERO VISTO membrane is a transparent , self-adhering membrane that provides durable temporary weather protection during construction for mass timber floor assemblies . See the Introduction to ADHERO VISTO blog post to dive into the details of this specialty product.
