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).
