Commercial Grade-D Wrap is a heavy-duty mechanically installed weather barrier with a cross-woven polyethylene structure. Used in regions that experience severe weather, this weather-resistive barrier provides high drainability and protects against bulk water intrusion.
Designed for use in commercial projects that demand durability, Commercial Grade-D is heavier and more tear and puncture-resistant. It’s easy to install and withstands UV damage for up to 180 days. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) coating on both sides for enhanced protection from the elements. It also features a double-sided design with a black backing intended for open-clad applications.

Take precautionary measures to achieve the best results when using Grip-Rite® Woven House Wrap:
House wrap serves as a weather-resistive barrier (WRB) and vapor barrier, preventing moisture from infiltrating the wall system and reducing the risk of mold, rot, and other safety issues. House wrap also aids in regulating airflow, enhancing insulation, and increasing the efficiency of HVAC systems.
The requirement of house wrap by code depends on local building codes and regulations, which can vary by region. In many areas, house wrap is commonly required.
The duration for which house wrap can be exposed is determined by its UV rating, indicating the maximum time it can endure sunlight exposure without suffering damage. Grip-Rite® Woven House Wrap contains unique light-stabilizers and resists excessive degradation when left exposed for up to 180 days (~ 6 months).
