Weather-Resistive Barriers® Benefits

Jumbo Tex® Benefits

• Six different product formulations, so you can specify the best solution for different building requirements.
• For use behind stucco, fiber cement siding, brick, vinyl and wood siding.

• Provides the ideal balance between water protection and vapor permeability to keep walls dry and homes comfortable.
• Provides optimal breathability to help prevent moisture condensation in exterior walls.
• Exceeds minimum code requirements for Grade "D" Paper.

• Reduces air infiltration in exterior walls, contributing to energy savings.

• Delivers better performance than felt-based solutions.
• Less brittle than felt, so it is less likely to tear during installation.
• Rugged durability resists tears and punctures on the jobsite.
• Unlike plastic housewraps, retains its weather-resistive properties when exposed to jobsite surfactants, as well as wood extracts and tannin derivatives from wood siding.
• Backed by the FortiShield™ 10-Year Product Warranty

• Pliability and 40 inch roll size make it easier to install and store on the jobsite than felt or plastic housewraps.

• More cost-effective than felt or plastic housewrap materials.
• Two-ply formulations provide labor savings when code requirements call for two layers.

• Considered by many building scientists to provide the ideal drainage plane as a secondary weather protection system behind all major building facades.
• Increases the drying potential of wall systems when wet.
• Results in better sealing around attachment fasteners.
• Integrates more effectively with other building components.
• Outperforms plastic housewraps in protecting against water intrusion while providing vapor permeability behind stucco, fiber cement siding, brick, vinyl and wood siding.
