READER SERVICE #179

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, weather-resistive barriers (WRB) such as housewrap - also known as building wrap - are recognized as an indispensable part of exterior wall systems, protecting building materials from exterior water penetration and keeping them dry. When used properly, the material improves a building's durability, decreases maintenance costs, and reduces the risk of moisture-related problems such as mold and mildew. No matter what type of exterior cladding is used - and that includes stone and brick veneer and newer stucco systems - WRBs are essential to effective moisture management.

For some time now, building codes have required the use of WRBs like housewrap in the construction of frame buildings. That's because any siding material, be it wood, masonry, vinyl or a combination of each, does not serve as a barrier to driving rain.

April 2025

Chairman's Message: While We Are Still Here
