Benjamin Obdyke has launched VaporWise, a vapor-variable interior membrane that provides advanced moisture management. Innovative by design, with a perm rating ranging from 0.14 to 14, VaporWise adapts to seasonal changes: During winter, VaporWise acts as a Class II vapor retarder, helping to prevent interior moisture from entering the wall cavity; in the summer, the membrane’s permeability increases, allowing moisture to escape and ensuring a dry, healthy wall cavity year-round.
VaporWise is made with tri-laminate construction — a reinforced mesh for strength and resilience, plus a translucent outer layer that provides visibility for installation and monitoring. The membrane is perfectly suited for use with blown-in cavity insulation; its structure ensures effective insulation coverage and maintains the integrity of the insulation system.
The membrane also can be detailed to serve as an air-control layer to help improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
VaporWise comes in 164-foot rolls with 806 square feet of gross coverage per roll. It carries a Class A fire rating.
