How To Attach Building Wrap To Dense Glass Sheeting

That keeps drafts from reaching your insulation and prevents heated and cooled air from seeping out through the walls.

How to attach building wrap to dense glass sheeting.

Densglass sheathing is the ideal substrate for a wide variety of air and water resistive barriers including building wraps fluid applied coatings self adhering membranes and spray foam applications. The entry way will eventually get a brick facade placed over the framing. The densglass gold 8 ft. Dens solutions are industry trusted high performing fiberglass mat gypsum panels suitable for your wall roof ceiling and floor projects.

Densglass sheathing adds performance and durability to a wide range of fire rated and non fire rated building assemblies. Easy to handle densglass sheathing is lightweight and easy to handle. See page 10 for details. Glass mat sheathing is like gypsum board but uses a fiberglass barrier instead of a paper material on the outside.

Staples and screws also will be putting small holes all over your plastic sheet. Densglass sheathing is the ideal substrate for a wide variety of air and water resistive barriers including building wraps liquid applied coatings and self adhering membranes. For this project we re framing the wall with 3 5 8 20 gauge metal studs with 5 8 thick densglass exterior sheathing. The tyvek wrap serves two functions.

Cement board structural sheathing is portland cement reinforced with glass fiber mesh that creates a sheet that attaches easily to a wall. Exterior wall sheathing features faces made of fiberglass and a core made of moisture resistant material making it a durable and long lasting sub layer for exterior materials such as brick siding and stucco. As a water barrier to prevent rain from seeping into the walls and as an airflow inhibitor to increase the r value of the building s insulation. Tyvek sheeting is a synthetic building material that is used to wrap the exterior of a home or commercial building.

House wrap is a fabric paper or board material that covers the exterior sheathing of house walls to protect the wall framing. Often used for commercial buildings. Consult with the local building code design professional owner or cladding manufacturer for water resistive barrier requirements. Most siding materials are not totally effective at repelling water particularly wind driven rain.

See page 9 for details. When water gets behind the siding house wrap is there to shed the water and keep it from entering the wall cavity. When used to slow winds its job is to seal gaps and leaks in the osb panels or plywood sheathing that makes up your home s exterior walls. Wiggle wire is much less prone to tearing your greenhouse plastic in areas of high winds.

Depending on how it s hung house wrap can either act as a moisture or wind barrier.
