For something that most homeowners never see, house wrap has a big job. As the last line of defense against water, it has the task of moisture mitigation, functioning not only as a water resistive barrier to prevent moisture from entering the wall assembly, but also allowing water vapor to pass from the interior to the exterior of the structure. If moisture from inside the home cannot escape, it can build up in the wall cavity, which may lead to mold and rot. A high quality house wrap, properly installed and flashed at window and door openings, can protect your biggest investment for years! IWP offers a selection of moisture management products, designed for a variety of projects and applications, big and small.
