Wraptor® Plus provides the builder with a wrap that performs not only as an air and moisture retarder, effectively sealing up the cracks in the external sheathing, but also a potential radiant barrier.

Wind driven moisture can make its way through almost any type of exterior cladding. Without a house wrap, moisture can be absorbed into the sheathing and wreak havoc on a wall system. Wraptor® Plus stops bulk moisture from coming in contact with sheathing, protecting the components of the wall system. Wraptor® Plus also has a perm rating of 7, which means that it allows moisture trapped inside the wall cavity to escape to the exterior.

AIR INFILTRATION

The U.S. Department of Energy has stated that a high percentage of a home's energy loss may be the result of air infiltration. The opposing force of pressure (low vs. high) between inside and outside walls can cause heat and air-conditioning to be virtually sucked from a building through walls, ceiling, joints, top plates, electrical outlets and every crack and opening in the building. As air infiltrates, it causes changes in temperatures that require heaters and air conditioners to work harder. Constant temperature fluctuations also reduce comfort levels. Wraptor® Plus is designed to reduce air infiltration, cutting down on drafts and allowing your HVAC equipment to run more efficiently.
