Ensure the integrity of your projects by specifying the TYPAR® Weather Protection System.

Designing a building envelope that provides excellent livability and energy conservation for the inhabitants plus protection against water penetration and its damaging impact are significant challenges for today’s architects and designers.

The TYPAR® Weather Protection System provides exceptional air and water holdout, all while delivering the TYPAR® Advantage. At the heart of the system is TYPAR® HouseWrap, which acts as an air and moisture barrier, while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the wall cavity. Installed before the exterior siding, TYPAR HouseWrap—TYPAR® StormWrap™ for extreme weather conditions—also protects the structure from Nature’s harshest elements with exceptional tear strength and ultraviolet stability. TYPAR® Flashings and TYPAR® Construction Tape complete the building envelope seal.

Start with TYPAR® products for all your projects.

The complete TYPAR Weather Protection System includes TYPAR HouseWrap (TYPAR MetroWrap for commercial); TYPAR Flashings; and TYPAR® Construction Tape. This engineered system assures sustainable protection against moisture damage for your architectural designs.

HouseWrap — TYPAR HouseWrap provides the perfect balance of water/air holdout and moisture vapor transmission (MVT). It blocks exterior water and air from entering the wall cavity while allowing moisture vapor from inside the home to escape the wall cavity. For your commercial applications, consider TYPAR MetroWrap.

Flashings — Three flashing options ensure seal integrity around doors, windows and other exterior rough openings. TYPAR® Flashing RA™ offers affordable, best-in-class performance. TYPAR® Flashing BA is the original premium butyl-based flashing. TYPAR® Flashing Flex is also butyl based and is perfect for sealing around arched windows.

Construction Tape — TYPAR® Construction Tape is a strong, polypropylene film, coated with a powerful all-weather acrylic adhesive that seals out the elements. It provides a powerful bond at the seams and edges to assure proper system performance.

In addition to the products in the Weather Protection System, other TYPAR construction products include:

Roofing Underlayment — Surround® SR Underlayment, a TYPAR® brand, is a smart alternative to felt. Not only will it save you time and energy, it also offers incredible secondary protection for all your roofing projects.

HouseWrap for Extreme Weather Conditions — TYPAR® StormWrap™ combines all the advantages of TYPAR HouseWrap with fiber-reinforcement for unprecedented impact resistance in a weather resistant barrier that also provides water holdout and tear strength. Designed to stop the penetration of wind-borne objects, high wind pressure cycles and wind lift conditions, it meets the rigorous standards of the Florida Building Code.

Geotextiles — Whatever your ground construction project needs, TYPAR Geotextiles can help. The durable fabric is available as 2-dimensional roll goods; as a 3-dimensional cellular confinement system called TYPAR Matrix™ 3-D-Geotextiles, as TYPAR® Biobarrier® Root Control System, and as TYPAR® Biobarrier® Weed Control System.
