It is one of a kind. Only TYPAR® DrainableWrap combines the industry-leading advantages of our weather-beating material with the ability to shed excess water.
Thanks to an integrated layer of randomly oriented fibers, TYPAR DrainableWrap has an effective drainage gap that gives it the ability to shed excess moisture faster than conventional housewraps.
Enhanced drainability doesn’t mean extra steps. TYPAR DrainableWrap goes up just like TYPAR® BuildingWrap™. Plus, you can install it in any direction without affecting the performance.
TYPAR DrainableWrap is ready to go to work right alongside our full lineup of high-performance flashings, tapes, and accessories. Put it all up together to shut down all points of unwanted intrusion.
Those two simple facts are significant. No other product brings together the capability to shed excess water with the exceptional tear strength, holdout, and breathability our material is known for. Are you building in a wet, coastal climate that gets more than 20 inches of rain a year? You’ve just found your wrap.
Exceeds minimum code requirements for drainability.
Tear-strength 5x greater than the competition.
Exceptional ability to block water and air intrusion.
Leave exposed for up to six months with no UV degradation.
Optimal perm rating allows moisture to safely escape interiors.
