BreatheEZ™ Housewrap is translucent so both the housewrap installers and exterior siding installers during construction can see the nailing surface. A high UV rating allows BreatheEZ™ Housewrap to be exposed for up to 9 months. This results in greater flexibility in scheduling window and exterior siding installation. Installed sales and sub-Contractors will both benefit from this. The reduced air infiltration resulting from the use of properly installed BreatheEZ™ Housewrap results in lower energy costs, while the micro-perforations still allow water vapor to escape. The water resistant properties of BreatheEZ™ Housewrap also make it an ideal drainage plane behind exterior siding products.
