GreenGuard, Fanfold Siding Underlayment & Housewrap
GreenGuard is the nation’s leading brand of siding underlayments. Made of extruded polystyrene (XPS), the underlayments provide superior moisture resistance and are perforated to allow moisture vapor to escape. They do not absorb water, are not a food source for mold, and are not subject to moisture-related damage and deterioration. They also retain their insulating properties over time. All GreenGuard's underlayments are designed to lay flat, giving siding a smooth, even finish. Plus they are lightweight and durable, so they cut easily without crumbling.
Building wraps are an essential part of water managed walls. When water passes through the exterior cladding, these weather-resistive barriers serve as the second layer of moisture protection, deflecting water away from sheathing and keeping it from further penetrating the wall system.
