The bad news: Water will find a way in, no matter how tightly walls are constructed. Wind-driven rain and pressure are experts at pushing moisture where it doesn't belong.
The good news: You can claim victory in this relentless battle against the forces of Nature!
Typar DrainableWrap is the ultimate defense against moisture accumulation in your customers' walls—and all the damp, moldy problems it can trigger. What sets it apart from other home wraps? Remarkable drainability.
Draining the Competition
Typar DrainableWrap is no ordinary house wrap.
As a Typar product, DrainableWrap is based on an already incredible material that leads in rugged, top-performing weather defense.
But then Typar went further and added a little something extra that makes a big difference: a layer of integrated, randomized polypropylene fibers. This layer creates a highly effective drainage gap that sheds excess moisture faster than conventional house wraps.
In fact, with a remarkable drainage efficiency of 94.8%, Typar DrainableWrap leaves standard house wraps in the dust. Soggy dust.
Why does efficient drainage matter?
That may be the question that literally no one's asking. We all know that water is the enemy of homes and other structures, always threatening to seep in and take up residence.
But since the nightmare of a water-damaged structure can't be overstated, here are a few reasons why drainability should be a top consideration when you want to prevent moisture from compromising the wall cavity—and your professional reputation:
- Protection from Water Infiltration: Wind-driven rain can force water through the tiniest gaps in your building's envelope.
- Prevention of Mold and Rot: Stagnant water trapped behind your building's walls can become a breeding ground for mold and a catalyst for rot. Efficient drainage is your best defense against these silent threats, ensuring a healthy and long-lasting structure.
- Cost Savings: Repairing water damage and addressing the consequences of inefficient drainage can be expensive.
Typar DrainableWrap provides a swift exit for water, stopping the threat to your walls, insulation, and interior spaces, and saving money in the long run by minimizing the risk of costly water-related repairs.
If your customers are concerned about drenching downpours, relentless rains, and the ravages of unchecked moisture, the choice is clear. You need the outstanding drainage of DrainableWrap.
