What's NEW In House-Wraps - Vapor Open + UV Stable Options

Huge thanks to our Show sponsors Polywall, Huber, Dorken Delta, Prosoco, & Viewrail for helping to make these videos possible! These are all trusted companies that Matt has worked with for years and trusts their products in the homes he builds. We would highly encourage you to check out their websites for more info.

Can we just all take a second to marvel at the mullet action at 2:59? You know this guy likes to party.

A comment about damaged house wrap:
Some years ago (probably 20+), there was a minor scandal when folks removing siding were finding the Tyvek house wrap in shreds. It did not have excessive UV before being covered and the siding was correctly installed. This was reported in Fine Homebuilding or (New England) Journal of Light Construction (I forget which). duPont did take steps to address the issue, probably by revising their Tyvek product. The point is, there are a lot of houses out there with the old product. If you are a builder/renovator, don't be surprised if you find something as Matt displayed towards the end of the video. Best of luck.

Thanks Matt for your videos. I am not a builder and will not likely own a home again, but your videos are very interesting. If I were a builder, I would consider your videos must-see required reviewing.

Why not compare some Henry blueskin vp 100 to this dorken. Henry is so much easier to get.

See, you say certain things are for the scorching hot south, and certain things are for the freezing cold north. But what about the Midwest? I’m in Cincinnati, OH... and I never know which to follow. I’m literally right in between zones 4 and 5. I tend to lean towards the more northern options, but I never really know. I’m not a builder, but I’d like to become one in the future.

Got excited when you dedicated the show to Northern Climate Zones, but have to say, Pretty disappointed with this video. In NY zone 6, the Canada videos were so helpful, but this video was contradictory and seemed like you're pushing a product you wouldn't use.

If I am in a location that is warm, with no rain, and no humidity, can I get away with no house wrap?

[davidnielsen]

Very interesting new product. Thank you Matt.

[AnthonyBrusca]

Why can't I use a zero perm WRB if I do a "perfect wall" house? Do I still want perm in the north?

[cbadcardaddy]

What house wrap and insulation would you suggest for a zone 4, Ozarks, Central North Arkansas? Thanks for great content Matt.

[stefanoferri]

I Build in Michigan, are you saying that i should be using a visscreen on the inside over my insulation and then drywall over that?

[davidribeca]

Matt , I am working on a project and my boss has chosen to use Dow house wrap Weathermate and 1 inch dow foam over a osb 2x4 wall assembly. Where should the house wrap be installed? Over the foam or over the OSB? We are in Texas. The directions For the Weathermate says over the OSB. The direction for the Dow Foam Can not be found on there website for this or any exterior aplication.

In which way should you insulate a new build in a tropical climate?

That moment you think this is a Dorken commercial only to be blind sided into it really being an Arrow commercial.

[thesidburgess]

Feel like you were creeping on my browser history today. Spent the morning researching house wraps. 🤣

[WillPittenger]

Where does the Zip system sit on this scale?

[kermitefrog]

Nice video. My question with a lot of the products they are not carried at our local Lowes or Home Depot and how do you get these products?

[netcomptech]

Is it correct to assume that when you say "climate zone" you are referring to IECC Climate Zones?

I feel like this channel is about 75 percent sponsored content now.

my builds only take longer because my inspectors are assholes
