Weather-resistive barriers (WRB) play a vital role in safeguarding your building’s exterior from water intrusion. These essential components not only shield against moisture but also regulate airflow and enhance energy efficiency, contributing significantly to a building’s overall performance.
At Grip-Rite®, we provide a range of innovative weather-resistant barriers designed to effectively protect your structure from moisture including ice, snow, and rain, ensuring long-lasting durability. Explore our diverse selection:
Types of Weather-Resistive Barriers
Grip-Rite® has different types of weather-resistive barriers to suit different construction needs. Some of our WRBs include:
House Wraps and Tapes
House Wrap
- ProWrap™-SA is a self-adhering spunbonded polypropylene weather resistive barrier that is engineered to be vapor permeable, a moisture protection barrier, and an air barrier for use in residential and commercial sidewall construction.
- Grip-Rite® WeatherResistor-HP offers next generation properties for reliable performance in both residential and commercial projects. The high-tenacity polyester construction features excellent strength properties, category-leading water resistance and compliance with the strictest energy codes. The elevated vapor transmission rate of WeatherResistor-HP allows potentially harmful condensation vapor to escape, contributing to a better performing wall system. WeatherResistor-HP is recognized by ICC-ES Evaluation for use as a water-resistive barrier and air barrier in residential and commercial projects.
- Grip-Rite® Commercial Grade-D is a commercial-grade building wrap and air barrier, incorporating a heavy-duty, cross-woven structure. It is the best choice for severe weather protection. Providing the highest real-world resistance to moisture, it is well-suited for residential and commercial projects demanding the highest level of durability. Grip-Rite® Commercial Grade-D is a recognized air barrier material that allows for the transfer of moisture vapor, creating a more energy-efficient structure.
- Grip-Rite® House Wrap-LWE is a matchless blend of value and performance, offering unparalleled reliability in shielding against weather conditions. It achieves a perfect balance between breathability and exceptional water resistance. Installing it is a breeze, and its woven fabric construction ensures durability and strength, providing excellent value for your investment.
House Wrap Tape
- ProWrap™ BUTYL window and door protector tape offers reliable weatherproofing with a primer-less application, maintaining durability even in low temperatures.
- ProWrap™ FLEX window and door protector tape is designed to seal corners and curved surfaces, creating a continuous air barrier while maintaining its flexible shape under UV exposure.
- Grip-Rite® Window & Door Protector is a self-adhesive tape that features an air barrier, self-sealing around nails and screws, and is UV resistant for long-lasting performance.
- Grip-Rite® House Wrap Tape enhances wall performance and indoor air quality, effectively repairing roll and cavity insulation damage.
Underlayment
- ShingleLayment® Premium is crafted from non-skid polypropylene, ensuring compliance with roofing codes. It’s easy to install and delivers exceptional moisture barrier performance.
- ShingleLayment®-15 PRO enhances traction with its non-skid polypropylene coating, making it ideal for mechanically fixed roofing while meeting code compliance standards.
- ShingleLayment® LWE-GRE is a lightweight alternative to Shinglelayment®-15 PRO, offering increased traction and friction to prevent skidding. Its lightweight design simplifies installation and reduces the risk of damage.
Ice | Snow | Rain Barrier
ShingleLayment®-HT
ShingleLayment®-HT features eight layers of all-synthetic lamination, providing robust protection against moisture infiltration from ice buildup and wind-driven rain.
Eave and Valley Protector
Grip-Rite® Eave and Valley Protector provides superior defense against roof damage caused by ice and water. Inadequate drainage can lead to water accumulation, resulting in ice dams that compromise the roofing structure by allowing water to infiltrate under the shingles.
