Weather-Resistive Barriers: Asphalt Saturated Kraft Building Paper
Jumbo Tex®
Known for its incredible reliability in wall systems, the Jumbo Tex® product line has been chosen by builders and architects to protect over five million homes and commercial buildings from the problems caused by water intrusion and excessive moisture. It provides an effective weather-resistive barrier behind stucco and brick - as well as wood, fiber cement and vinyl siding.
Jumbo Tex addresses the requirements for weather-resistive barriers, while exceeding all standards for Grade "D" Building Paper. An asphalt saturated kraft paper, this cost-effective solution offers solid durability that resists tears and punctures on the jobsite.
Jumbo Tex is available in three categories of finished products - Classic, Premier and Professional - with both one and two-ply options, so a solution can be specified for virtually any building requirement.
Fortify®
Fortify® is a reliable alternative to housewraps and felt products that delivers optimum performance at an economical cost. Unlike alternative wraps, Fortify balances exceptional water resistance with optimum water vapor transmission in a wider format 54" roll. The product is six times more water resistant than most housewraps, yet permeable enough to allow water vapor to escape from the wall cavity.
Weather Tex™
Two-Ply Weather Tex is the industry's first hybrid weather-resistive barrier - combining the time-tested water resistance of Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute building paper with WeatherSmart, our award-winning, advanced technology polymeric housewrap. The product represents the industry's most formidable combination of strength, durability, breathability and moisture protection.
