Builders and contractors alike realize that not all building envelope systems are the same. As a contractor, knowing the key products needed can add value for both you and your clients, whether you’re working on a renovation or new construction project. This is where Intertape Polymer Group-branded building products can help – they offer a whole line of products in the building enveloping category to help you complete a project from start to finish.

NovaWrap House Wrap

A 100 per cent synthetic building wrap, non-woven, non-perforated polypropylene fabric that provides the ideal ratio of water resistance/moisture vapour transmission to the outside, thus, letting the structure breathe while preventing damage due to water infiltration. It contributes to weather-tightness and provides energy efficiency in buildings for the life of the structure.

Benefits

• 100 per cent recyclable non-woven polypropylene fabric with breathable coating
• Reduces outside air infiltration and improves energy efficiency
• Fire-rated material to meet the rigid building standards of today
• Reduces water intrusion, which eliminates mould and mildew
• Meets or exceeds applicable building codes for sheathing membranes and air barriers
• Six months of UV stability, but recommend covering within 60 days

NovaSeal Roof Underlayment
