| HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) Quickflash Weatherproofing Products Inc. has entered into a national Volume Discount Agreement with KB Home.
The agreement allows KB Home subcontractors in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Colorado to purchase Quickflash Weatherproofing Panels direct from the company at substantial discount rates.
Quickflash, under the auspices of its founding president and CEO, construction industry veteran William ("Bill") Gilleran, manufactures a line of innovative, high-grade polyethylene plastic and thermal plastic rubber (TPR) flashing panels for external vertical wall plumbing and electrical penetrations. Due to the nature of the materials, design and installation of Quickflash products, they have tested to be extremely successful in stopping leaks and keeping out moisture - a condition which can lead to toxic mold, dry rot and other problems. Toxic mold, an issue that has received significant media attention, has become the focus of a growing number of lawsuits within the building and construction industry.
Said Ryan Wells, director of purchasing for KB Home's Nevada Division, "Using Quickflash products on all of our new homes has not only raised the bar in terms of quality, but also reinforced the peace of mind that we are delivering the best possible product to our customers, home after home."
Invented by Gilleran, a former long-time quality control specialist for new construction and water intrusion problems, Quickflash plumbing and electrical flashing panels are designed to minimize the possibility of human error in installation, are non-conductive and non-corrosive, and save substantial time and labor costs.
Quickflash products are designed for multiple finishes such as brick, stucco (1-coat & 3-coat), EIFS, wood, vinyl and stone veneers. The panels effectively replace the old practice of caulking electrical and plumbing penetrations to building paper on residential and commercial buildings. If the installer of the moisture-resistant barrier (the building paper) does not properly carry through with the caulk application to form a weatherproof seal, the installation is immediately flawed and water entry can occur.
