Preventing water infiltration
Controlling water vapor transmission
Controlling heat and air flow,into and out of interior spaces
Providing a shield against ultraviolet rays and excessive sunlight
Limiting noise infiltration
Providing structural integrity for the façade components
Providing necessary aesthetics
Preventing of mold formation and growth
