The wrap is of a thin flexible web or sheet of material having multiple layers. The layers include a metallized polymeric layer (e.g. polyester metallized with aluminum) adhered to a closed cell foam layer. The metallized portion preferably faces the adhesive layer. The polymeric layer is an outside surface layer as is the closed cell foam layer.
Description
- Priority of my U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/805,798, filed 26 Jun. 2006, hereby incorporated herein by reference, is hereby claimed.
- Incorporated herein by reference is my U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/297,111, filed 7 Dec. 2005, and published on 6 Jul. 2006 as publication no. US 2006/0147696 A1.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the construction of buildings or homes, and more particularly, to a weather resistant barrier or “wrap” for buildings that combats water, moisture, or air infiltration, important for those structures that are constructed of a wooden or like framing.
- 2. General Background of the Invention
- Moisture can be one of the worst enemies of a home or building. Water or moisture or humid air infiltration if allowed to penetrate behind siding or brick can saturate the wood of a building structure, thereby creating an environment that encourages mildew or rot.
- A weather resistant barrier has for many years been applied to the wood studs of buildings and homes in order to resist the moisture or water generated by weather. Such material is typically flexible and in a film or sheet form. Typically, this weather resistant barrier or “house wrap” is applied to the wooden stud frame before the application of a final siding or veneer (e.g. brick, metal, painted wood). Many such “wrap” products are commercially available such as, for example: Dupont Tyvek®, Typar® Housewrap (www.typarhousewrap.com), and Barricade® building wrap (www.ludlowcp.com).
- The following U.S. patents are possibly relevant, each hereby incorporated herein by reference:
