A Layer of Moisture and Air Protection that Really Performs

To properly manage moisture in walls, you need a combination of the right building wrap and tape. This approach keeps water out of the wall

cavities, helps provide an air barrier, and even breathes to allow moisture vapor to escape. When combined with ﬂashing, the Everbilt non-

woven building wrap helps you reduce the potential for rot, mold, and mildew caused by external water sources.
