To avoid UV Concerns with Housewrap for residential projects, scheduling is the most important factor in avoiding the housewrap’s exposure to UV rays past what the manufacturer recommends. The exterior shouldn’t be dried in with the housewrap until the siding selections and delivery are confirmed. In addition, subcontractors should be scheduled accordingly. This includes ensuring other trades remain on time to avoid getting in the way of the siding installers when the time comes.
For projects more likely to encounter a longer period of time from drying-in to cladding installation, specifiers should err on the side of caution and use WRB and flashing products designed and tested to withstand longer UV exposure.
For example, InvisiWrap UV is a black housewrap that allows for 12 months of UV exposure, making it suitable for open-joint cladding (where larger gaps in the siding will expose the housewrap to more UV rays than normal) or for projects where the WRB will be left uncovered for a longer period of time. This not only makes it ideal for large custom homes but also light commercial projects.
