HardieWrap Weather Barrier from Bmg exteriors LLC
HardieWrap is an enhanced, higher-performance weather barrier specially built for our fascinating and ever-changing environment in Indiana. HardieWrap weather barrier offers a balance of water resistance and breathability, allowing moisture (water vapor) to escape from inside your home so that the area inside the wall remains dry. Whether you have built Hardie board siding or vinyl siding, aluminum siding, stucco siding or cedar siding, this is the real thing. Hardie scientists have taken into account eight distinct factors for your home's exterior. (1) temperature range; (2) UV radiation; (3) humidity; (4) precipitation; (5) snowfall; (6) hail; and (7) topographical features are the related variables. (The eighth element, (8)Hurricanes, is not important to us, thank goodness.)
Why does the HARDIEWRAP weather barrier do it so much better?
HardieWrap weather barrier is a deluxe, non-woven, water-resistant weather barrier. It includes a unique MicroTechTM coating that allows for increased performance. The HardieWrap Weather Barrier:
Provides a combination of water retention and breathability.
Maintains superior air resistance to decrease energy losses in the home
For extraordinary tear strength, utilizes 11 mil thicker sheeting
Many weather barriers allow too much moisture vapor to pass through. Then they break down sooner because, over long periods of time, bulk water sticks to the surface. Excess coating costs would be generated years later by this premature loss. Other fences have no wind resistance, which contributes to the lack of electricity. HardieWrap keeps most of the wind from hitting your home, which means your living room is more spacious and you save on electricity costs.
Finally, several weather obstacles are broken during installation. Both of these jobs will be subcontracted by a regular siding company. Therefore, installers are inspired to work as efficiently as they can. They pull excessively on the weather barrier, which causes tears in the fasteners. The tears facilitate bulk water infiltration into the building envelope. HardieWrap's special texture and coating reduce the potential for tears to form.
