Delta-Dry targetsa chronic problem faced by builders— framing and sheathing that becomewet during construction — with newdrying strategies.Unlike house wraps that are porous orbreathable, Delta-Dry is a heavy “barrier”wrap that can’t be penetrated by air ormoisture. The channeled polyethylene sheetingdries and drains as well as protects.Its metallic silver membrane compositionalso plays an important role in maintainingindoor climates and increasing energyefficiency. It reflects radiant heat.Delta-Dry’s success in preventing moisturebuildup is due to its dimensional, studand-channelstructure. During installation,it is interlocked to create a strong barrieragainst wind-driven moisture. Openings areleft at the top and bottom for ventilation.The protruding studs create a small,continuous airspace on both sides <strong>of</strong> thebarrier wrap, where drying and drainagecan take place.The house wrap can be easily cut andinstalled by one person, using nails orstaples, and it will continue to do its jobeven if torn in the process.

Until now, there has notbeen a residential treated wood preserved with carbon-based components.Although it is very effective as a preservative and will stand up to wood-destroyingorganisms, the treating formulation has low impact throughout its production, distributionand installation. This wood, which is backed by a lifetime limited warranty, is intendedfor out-<strong>of</strong>-ground use.By itself, the preservative would leave wood its natural color. However, to distinguishtreated from untreated material, pigment can be added to the solution, giving the wooda light greenish hue. It has a built-in water repellent, is protected by an EPA-registeredformulation that penetrates a wide range <strong>of</strong> wood species, and is comparable to untreatedwood with regard to corrosion <strong>of</strong> metal hardware.For more information, call (770) 801-6600 or visit www.wolmanizedwood.com.(See decking and waterpro<strong>of</strong>ing, page 14) You and your clients don’t have to worry when you use FrameGuard®mold-resistant wood.
