New Year, New Options - Fortifiber® Expands Its Housewrap Line to Offer More Choices

RENO, NV, February 2, 2006 - Fortifiber Building Systems Group®, an industry leader in moisture control solutions, will usher in the new year by offering two new additions to its already extensive line of weather-resistive barriers. The new offerings, FortiWrap™ and PlyDry™, will debut at the International Builders Show in Orlando, FL.

The addition of these two durable, woven polypropylene housewraps rounds out Fortifiber's line as the industry's most complete, offering builders a weather-resistive barrier for every situation and every budget. WeatherSmart™, based on advanced non-perforated polymer technology, was introduced last year and remains the company's premium housewrap product. Adding FortiWrap™ and PlyDry™ expands Fortifiber's line to give builders more weather-resistive barrier options - based on their price/performance requirements.
