Section 2 : Fasteners
A. Insulation Solutions recommends using plastic cap nails
(roofing caps/button caps) or plastic cap staples due to their
holding power and ability to keep out moisture and air.
B. Alternative fasteners include staples (i.e. galvanized 16
gauge) or large head nails (i.e. roofing nails).
C. Fasteners should be placed every 6” around windows/doors
and every 12” along every other stud.
Section 3 : Overlapping and Tapping
A. All seams should be overlapped at least 6”. When more
than one course of Wraptor exists (i.e. a 2-story house)
the top course should overlap the bottom course at
least 8”.
B. All seams (verticle & horizontal) should be taped with
Wraptor House Wrap Tape or equivilent. And punctures,
tears or protrusions should be taped. Electrical boxes
should be sealed from air infiltration with tape, caulk or
foam. Seal around windows/doors with tape as well.
Section 4 : Other Recommendations
A. UV Exposure: Wraptor is not designed as an exterior finish system. It should be covered with the exterior cladding as
soon as it is practical (maximum 180 days).
B. Stucco: When using Wraptor behind stucco, a lathe support system should be employed. Stucco applied directly to
Wraptor without a support system may be prone to cracking. In moist or humid areas, check local codes for proper
moisture control practices. Some areas may require two layers of house wrap and/or an additional drainage plane
behind stucco finishes.
C. Wood and Other Porous Siding: Good building practices include back-priming of any porous siding before installation.
D. Keep open fire and extreme heat sources away from the surface of the material.
