INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Method 1 (Without Window Flashing/Before Window & Door Installation)

1. Align the bottom edge of the roll with the bottom of the wall so that the material is covering both the sill plate and the sole plate. Fold the material several inches under itself and fasten securely to the sheathing using staples or cap nails.

2. Unroll Wraptor Plus horizontally along sheathing with the foil side facing out, fastening as you go. As a general rule, fasteners should be placed every 12" along every other stud.

3. When the end of a roll is reached, fold wrap under itself, fasten to framing and repeat steps 1-3. Where a horizontal seam exists, upper portion of the wrap should overlap the bottom portion in order to promote proper drainage. All horizontal and vertical seams should be overlapped a minimum of 6".

4. Once Wraptor Plus is fastened around the building, cut openings for doors and windows using a modified "I" pattern. Fold excess material to the inside of the rough opening and fasten securely to structural framing.

5. For optimal air and moisture holdout, all vertical and horizontal seams should be taped with Wraptor House Wrap Tape or other appropriate tape. Tape should also be used to seal around windows and doors.

 

Method 2 (With Window Flashing/Before Window & Door Installation)

1. Apply Wraptor Flash to the sill of the rough opening making sure that it is flush with the back edge. Cut and extend flashing 8" inches past each side of the rough opening.

2. Install window according to manufacturer's instructions.

3. Attach Wraptor Flash to the sheathing making sure to cover the window jamb. Flashing should extend 8" past both the bottom and top of the rough opening.
