INSTALLATION
Step 1: Start 2–3 feet from a corner. Wrap
around corner and continue nailing or stapling
as you move around the house. Use fasteners
that are long enough to penetrate into the stud
or nail base material.
Step 2: Use enough fasteners to hold the wrap
firmly in place by fastening it every 12"–18"
along the vertical studs using large-headed or
plastic cap nails or minimum 1" crown staples.
You may install it over wood-based, foaminsulative,
or fiberboard sheathing, and exterior
gypsum board.
Masonry Construction (CMU): Masonry
Tap-Con Fasteners with 2" diameter plastic
cap fasteners should be used at a 12"–18"
vertical spacing and 24" horizontally spaced.
A recommended adhesive may be used
temporarily to attach the weather barrier at
24" on center vertical strips; coordination on
the job site is recommended.
Note: A field inspection by a manufacturer
representative is recommended on all
commercial projects.
Step 3: Make an inverted “Y” cut in the wrap
at window rough opening. Make diagonal cuts
at top corners of rough opening.
Step 4: Fold the three flaps through the
opening, fastening them inside with staples set
about every 6". Fold top flap back and fasten
temporarily.
Step 5: Install the bottom flashing (when
installing flashing) over the wrap.
NOTE: Barricade Building Products
recommends the use of a flashing material,
such as Polyken® or Barricade® premium butyl
rubber flashing tape, that meets or exceeds
Federal Specification UU-B-790a, Grade A and
is a minimum 4" in width.
Step 6: Install window. Flashing details around
window:
A. Install side flashing over side window
flanges.
B. Install head flashing over the top window
flange and extend it out 3" to 4" over the
side flashings.
C. Bottom window flange should be over
flashing, installed in Step 5.
D. Remove temporary fasteners from top flap
of housewrap, and apply over installed
head flashing.
NOTE: Windows must be installed in
accordance with each manufacturer’s
recommended guidelines and installation
procedures.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Basic Use: WeatherTrek Housewrap is a
micro-perforated polyethylene membrane that
is installed beneath exterior siding to reduce air
infiltration and act as a weather resistive barrier.
WeatherTrek Housewrap is designed to provide
a secondary line of defense against bulk water
penetration and is not intended for use as a
primary water barrier. Used in residential and
commercial construction, installing housewrap
on an entire home or structure is generally the
most common industry practice.
Precautions and Limitations: Refer to
individual code reports for the various findings
and limitations applicable to the specific code
areas of influence.
