InvisiWrap® UV Black Housewrap
InvisiWrap® UV is specially designed for use with architectural projects that incorporate “open joint cladding.” This black housewrap enhances the aesthetic appeal to open joint architecture and boasts protection properties that allow 12 months of UV exposure. When used in conjunction with a rainscreen, it provides superior bulk water drainage, exceptional vapor permeability, and long-lasting durability for the building envelope.
Unlike other standard housewraps, this UV-resistant WRB is tough and will stand up to the elements. If you plan to have open siding in your next project, this black housewrap is essential to build a weatherization system that will last.
