SYNTHETIC BUILDING WRAPS

Check your Trade PriceAbout Synthetic Building Wraps
Synthetic building wraps have become the clear alternative to building papers over the last 30 years, providing a greater level of temporary protection for your timber or steel-framed new build. Available in a variety of widths and thicknesses they are designed to resist tearing, making them quicker and easier to install than traditional building papers. Offering a secondary line of defence against the elements, the more superior designs are often permeable and water-resistant, boasting UV protection and fire-retardant properties. Though less durable and weathertight than a Flexible or Rigid Air Barrier system, synthetic wraps are a viable, cost-effective alternative. Wraps and accompanying components are available as a whole system solution.
