EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT 155 CONTINUING EDUCATION Effective and Affordable House Wraps New textured and breathable weather-resistant barriers maximize drainage capabilities and protection against water and air infiltration Sponsored by Kimberly-Clark Moisture intrusion. It has bedeviled builders and homeowners for centuries. Moisture in the building envelope can cause problems for the structure and its occupants, including rot, mold, mildew, and microbial growth. Left untreated, unwanted moisture can jeopardize a building’s integrity, leading to customer dissatisfaction, callbacks, and, in some cases, even structural failure, litigation, significant claims against builders, and expensive repairs and remediation. Compounding the problem is that even severe moisture damage can occur without telltale signs. In recognition of the potential pitfalls associated with moisture intrusion, building codes are becoming stricter with regard to moisture management, and building architects and owners more attuned to the often onerous implications of improper moisture control. Many in the building community rely on house wraps, or weather-resistant barriers (WRB) to prevent moisture entry into the wall cavity and to create continuous protection around the structure, covering gaps, cracks, and other holes between the sheathing and the cladding. Over the years, house wraps have evolved, with some of today’s versions better able to also protect against air infiltration and easily drain any water that has penetrated the wall cavity, and allow water vapor to escape the home—all at an affordable price. This article will highlight the basic characteristics of house wraps, compare the various types of house wrap products on the market, and identify the features to consider in properly specifying a house wrap in a residential structure. HOUSE WRAPS: THE BASICS While many builders and homeowners assume that the siding on a house is sufficient protection against water infiltration, this is not the case. Even perfectly installed, high-quality siding cannot perform that task, as water, particularly wind-driven rain, will inevitably find its way through gaps and cracks in the wall assembly. Many in the building community rely on house wraps, or weatherresistant barriers (WRB), to prevent moisture entry into the wall cavity. CONTINUING EDUCATION EARN ONE AIA/CES HSW LEARNING UNIT (LU) Photo courtesy of Kimberly-Clark Learning Objectives After reading this article, you should be able to: 1. Discuss the ways in which house wraps contribute to moisture management and enhance green building goals. 2. Compare various types of weather-resistant barriers in terms of their ability to effectively minimize moisture and air infiltration and allow drainage of water in the wall cavity. 3. Identify the key considerations in the proper specification of a house wrap product to ensure occupant health and safety and consistency with sustainability objectives. 4. Explain how to overcome potential problems in the installation process in order to maximize the effectiveness of the specified house wrap material.
