I am already specifying that the beams be galvanized as well, thanks for the info on the membrane, that's an interesting alternative for future applications.
I forgot to mention that I am looking for a product similar to this because I would like to avoid field drilling the top flanges. A self tapping screw that can go through the two materials (instead of drilling with a nut/bolt) will save a lot of time/money.
