Benjamin Obdyke Introduces FlatWrap® UV Housewrap for Open Joint Claddings
Horsham, Pa. (PRWEB) August 17, 2016 -- Benjamin Obdyke Incorporated, a leading provider of high performance roof and wall products to the residential and commercial construction markets, today announced it has strengthened its line of moisture management solutions with the release of commercial-grade FlatWrap® UV housewrap.
Formerly known as FlatWrap HP®, the new and improved FlatWrap® UV is specially designed for use with architectural designs that incorporate open joint claddings. When used in conjunction with a rainscreen, it provides superior bulk water drainage, vapor permeability and durability. The product features a high performance tri-laminate design with superior UV resistance versus typical weather resistant barriers. In addition, the product has a vapor permeability of 35 perms, and has been proven to increase tear and wind load resistance for jobs over 40 feet.
“FlatWrap® UV is specifically intended for use with structures that incorporate open joint claddings, enabling moisture to drain effectively within a ventilated gap in the wall assembly,” said Tara Murray, Marketing Manager at Benjamin Obdyke, Inc. “This innovation will help extend the lifespan of modern architectural designs to benefit builders, architects and homeowners – at a fraction of the cost of typical commercial grade WRBs.”
Available in convenient 500 sq. ft. rolls for simple one-man installation, FlatWrap® UV can help significantly reduce both material and labor costs. The product does not require seams to be taped and its black color makes it virtually invisible in an open wall assembly, enhancing aesthetic appeal.
