Description
HydroGap® Drainable Housewrap is the newest moisture management product from Benjamin Obdyke. This product allows construction professionals to Build Better™ by effectively eliminating excess moisture, thereby preventing the damaging effects of mold and rot. Its patent-pending one millimeter spacers allow at least 100X more bulk water to drain from a wall versus standard housewraps.
HydroGap drainable housewrap eliminates excess moisture and prevents the damaging effects of mold and rot. Its unique design provides up to two times the performance over other drainable housewraps and removes over 100 times more bulk water than standard housewraps.
The increased performance is achieved through a pattern of one millimeter spacers bonded to a high performance non woven tri-laminate substrate. The "gap" provides a positive drainage space between the sheathing and cladding material allowing water to quickly escape.
The low profile drainage space eliminates the need for design changes in the wall assembly. The product requires no special tools for installation and becomes an effective means to manage moisture and air infiltration resulting in a better built wall.
