Driwall™ Drainable Housewrap

Driwall™ Drainable Housewrap is a crucial component in modern construction, designed to protect walls from moisture while allowing internal vapor to escape. Made from synthetic materials, it features a Type II Housewrap with tiny spacers to create a drainage space between the wrap and the wall sheathing. Installed beneath the exterior siding, it overlaps and seals at seams for maximum effectiveness. The importance of Driwall™ Drainable Housewrap lies in its moisture management capability. It prevents water accumulation inside wall cavities, reducing the risk of water damage and mold growth. Additionally, its breathability is key for maintaining indoor air quality and preventing internal condensation.

Driwall™ Drainable Housewrap saves installation time and cost while ensuring critical drainage and protection for your exterior walls. Ideal for use with boarded cladding or fiber cement, this product is engineered for wood-framed construction of all types.

Features:

  • Continuous Drainage Path: Rapidly expels water from behind cladding
  • Advanced Moisture Vapor Management: Allows internal moisture to escape
  • Superior Material Integrity: High-strength, tear-resistant construction
  • Streamlined Installation: Pre-marked tack lines and integrated seam tape
  • Dual-Function Design: Combines housewrap and drainage plane in one product
  • Transparent Design: Partially transparent design allows you to see the chalked lined studs
