HydroGap: Build a Better Wall

HydroGap® Drainable Housewrap is the newest moisture manage-ment product from Benjamin Obdyke. This innovative product allows construction professionals to effectively eliminate excess moisture from an exterior wall and prevent the damaging effects of mold and rot. Its unique design removes at least 100 times more bulk water from a wall versus standard housewraps. This is achieved through the gap created by 1mm spacers bonded to a high performance house-wrap. This patent-pending gap design provides a true drainage space between the sheathing and cladding material.

The low-profile drainage space of HydroGap eliminates the need for design changes in the wall assembly. The product requires no spe-cial tools for installation and becomes an effective means to manage moisture and air infiltration resulting in a better-built wall.
