When we got there, they had put the wrap on the first wall.<\/p>\n

So, this is how they put it up. One guy rolled it out, while the other guy went behind him with a 2×4 to pull it into place and hold it up.<\/p>\n

\"They<\/a>

At the corner, with one hand he held the material up with the 2×4, while he pulled it down to make sure it was in exactly the right place.<\/p>\n

I wondered why they used this green wrap instead of Tyvek. Here is what I found:<\/p>\n

Kingspan GreenGuard RainDrop 3D Building Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drains water better than any other wrap.
\n<\/strong>RainDrop 3D drains 50% more water than Tyvek\u00ae DrainWrap\u2122<\/p>\n

Saves energy and money by reducing air leakage.<\/strong>
\nAir leakage is reduced by 20%, with an estimated energy savings of about 10% per year.<\/p>\n

Multi-functional wrap is three products in one.<\/strong>
\nIt meets all the building code requirements of an air barrier, a water-resistive barrier, and a drainage wrap. By providing everything in a single package, RainDrop 3D eliminates the need to install three separate products on your home, thereby reducing material and labor costs.<\/p>\n

For use as an Air Barrier, Water-Resistive Barrier and Drainage Medium in Construction Environments where optimum Barrier Performance Plus Drainage Behind Wall Cladding is Required<\/p>\n

Kingspan GreenGuard RainDrop 3D Building Wrap\u2019s innovative drainage channels keep water out of the wall system. The channels are designed not to crimp, collapse, or flatten, ensuring water will drain no matter how tightly cladding is nailed to the wall. The material has demonstrated water holdout capabilities in industry-recognized water resistance tests. This non-perforated wrap also breathes to allow moisture vapor to escape.<\/p>\n

With its high tear resistance and translucent design, installation is quick and easy with no job site waste. And it stays UV-stable up to 9 months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are you impressed yet?<\/p>\n
