Typar is expanding its line of high-performance building wraps with the launch of Typar DrainableWrap Commercial, the company’s first drainable building wrap engineered to protect multi-story structures from the elements and manage excess moisture. Typar DrainableWrap Commercial joins Typar MetroWrap in the company’s growing portfolio of building wraps designed specifically for commercial structures.
“Supporting the commercial market has always been important to Typar, and the addition of DrainableWrap Commerical is further proof of that commitment,” says Andrew Irvine, product manager, Typar. “This new commercial wrap offers the superior UV protection and tear strength needed for commercial job sites while also helping commercial builders and architects address the growing challenge of drainage in high-rise building envelopes.”
DrainableWrap Commercial, available in 5′ by 150′ rolls, offers an elevated ability to deal with excess moisture even faster than most conventional house wraps. This is thanks to Typar patented meltshot technology, which adds an integrated layer of fibers to create an effective drainage gap to channel wind-driven rain and bulk water away from the structure.
DrainableWrap Commercial can be installed as part of the Typar Weather Protection System, which encompasses the company’s full line of high-performance house wraps, tapes and accessories. The system perfectly balances water and air holdout with the ideal level of moisture vapor transmission while also improving the building’s overall energy efficiency. When installed together, the complete Typar Weather Protection System is covered by the only lifetime limited warranty in the industry that includes materials and labor.
The Typar brand of construction products, including the well-known Typar Weather Protection System, is manufactured by Berry Global, Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of nonwoven materials.
