Grip-Rite House-Wrap significantly reduces leaks within the Effective Leak Area (ELA) found where sheets of plywood or wall sheathing abut one another. Lightweight, durable and tear-resistant, Grip-Rite House-Wrap is made up of a 9 x 5 wind-resistant weave substrate with a 2-sided low-density coating that effectively blocks air infiltration and air transfer and resists moisture. The micro-perforated sheet offers outstanding UV resistance and tensile strength for a wide range of climates.
 

• Minimizes air infiltration, providing high insulation performance for exterior walls
• Allows trapped moisture to escape, protecting interior wall cavities, sheathing and stud wall components when rain and water get behind siding, brick, or stucco
• Reduces the potential for condensation within the wall cavity
• Reduces the flow of moisture-laden air into and out of wall cavities, helping improve air quality
• Reduces drafts and improves the thermal performance of exterior walls
• Improves building durability, protecting sheathing and framing from moisture
• Improves energy efficiency, maintaining interior temperature and reducing energy loss
• Withstands wind, harsh weather, UV and tough jobsite conditions
• Helps prevent mold, mildew and other moisture-related problems
