IntelliWrapTM Vapor-Permeable Air Barriers and Water Resistive Barriers (WRB)
Uncontrolled air flow takes a tremendous toll on a building and its occupants. IMETCO air barrier and water resistive barrier (WRB) membranes promote a wall cavity in which water vapor can be effectively managed, which is particularly important in regions where seasonal humidity and temperatures fluctuate, by:
- Stopping the flow of air and resists air pressure
- Prohibiting liquid water transmission
- Allowing controlled diffusion of water vapor
Air barrier membranes offer several advantages over fluid applied air barriers to installers, including ease and consistency of installation. IMETCO offers three vapor-open air barrier membrane options for use with the IntelliScreenTM Complete Rainscreen Wall System:
