Engineered, woven polyethylene housewrap with micro-perforations.
Air-Gard® housewrap is a polyethylene fabric, woven into sheet form and coated on both sides. Millions of microsized pores allow the house to breathe, yet they are small enough to retain excellent wind barrier properties. Unlike other housewraps, the coating on both sides makes Air-Gard fast to install.
The Air-Gard family of products delivers comfort with all-around protection, strength when needed, and ease of installation. The standard Air-Gard construction has proven wind-barrier performance for all climates with extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio.
Inherent strength in every direction, reducing the risk of tears during application
Extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio for ease of use during installation process
Reduces air currents within the wall cavity and in the insulation between studs
An efficient barrier to wind-driven rain, its millions of pores let water vapor escape to the outside, reducing dampness and mold
