Ecoply Barrier offers a true system approach to creating a rigid air barrier, with all components specifically designed to work together. The engineered plywood panel is sealed with a unique powder coating which, when used with Ecoply Barrier Tapes, forms a moisture-resistant barrier, eliminating the need for flexible building wrap.
Ecoply® Barrier is an H3.2 CCA-treated structural plywood panel sealed on the face and edges using an advanced polyester coating process. Ecoply Barrier includes specially designed sealing tapes to provide a weathertight rigid air barrier for drained and vented cavity systems outside the building frame, effectively replacing traditional building wrap in the cavity. It provides structural bracing and forms a strong secondary line of defence to prevent moisture penetrating the building envelope (the primary defence being the exterior cladding).
Key benefits of Ecoply® Barrier for builders:
- Immediate close-in of structure, allowing interior and exterior work to be completed at the same time.
- Light and easy to work with; simple and quick to install.
- Panels and tapes can be exposed for up to 180 days during the construction cycle. This means there are no delays while exterior cladding is installed (i.e. brick layers etc).
- System permeance allows wall system to dry while keeping out external moisture; provides a drainage plane to manage moisture build-up within cavity.
- Able to resist extra high wind zones.
- Provides excellent temporary weather protection before final cladding is installed.
