Water and UV-Resistant House Wraps

This water-resistant and UV-resistant House (Insulation) Wraps from Wovar are suitable for facades that are not completely closed. It is important, however, that the open joints between the facade cladding are not larger than 20 mm. In addition, the total number of mm that is open over the entire facade must also be taken into account. When using this UV-resistant fhouse wrap, this may not be more than 20% per square meter of the total facade. So with a facade of 500 cm long, a maximum of 100 cm may consist of open joints, seams or grooves in your facade cladding.

Wovar supplies a total of 2 different variants of black UV-resistant house wraps. Namely the standard variant and the variant with 2 self-adhesive strips for the overlap gluing. This is also called self-adhesive, but it is not in its entirety. The official name of our water-resistant and UV-resistant facade foil is Wovar House Wrap. The self-adhesive version is officially called Wovar House Wrap PLUS.

Installing the UV Resistant House Wraps yourself

Installing the standard UV-resistant house wraps, so without self-adhesive strips, is done with our special adhesive for black roof and house wraps. The Wovar adhesive for roof and house wraps is a solvent-free contact sealant. This is super easy to apply using a caulking gun. When gluing, always ensure an overlap of at least 10 cm. Overlap draining from the facade in a weathered manner. So, the top sheet of foil over the bottom one with 10 cm overlap.

Always secure the house wrap with stainless steel staples, preferably on a hard flat surface construction. Apply an adhesive strip to the sub-construction 60 cm. Permanent fastening of the wrap must always take place with a vertical timber rail. Provide the rail on the inside with self-adhesive batten tape to prevent watering through the fastening screws. On this line / battens you finally attach the facade timber parts with an open joint.

Horizontal and Vertical Cladding

Vertically laid open house wraps should always be fitted with a double substructure, for correct drainage of rainwater over the facade. Horizontally mounted house wraps can be installed to the rear construction with only a vertical timber batten. All overlaps must always be glued for correct sealing of the facade.

Installing House Wraps with Adhesive Strips (Self-Adhesive)

With self-adhesive UV-resistant house wraps, not the entire wrap is self-adhesive. This variant is also called the Wovar House Wrap PLUS. The Wovar House Wrap PLUS is provided with 2x an adhesive strip for the overlap gluing. An adhesive strip on both the front and the back, for the overlap bonding, place the adhesive strips on top of each other. It is advisable to always apply the wrap horizontally with a lid overlap of the wrap, so the top sheet of the wrap over the bottom one, with 10 cm overlap. Then you are always ensured good drainage, and rainwater can never run behind the wrap. This way you can also stick the adhesive strips together with the PLUS version perfectly for a correct seal.

How should I Install UV Resistant House Wraps to a Stone Exterior Wall?

To place our UV-resistant house wrap on a stone exterior wall, you mount wooden battens on the brick wall. The wrap can then be stapled to this frame with stainless steel staples. Make sure that stapling is possible every 60 cm. You fix the wooden framework to the wall using our hammer plugs or frame plugs.

For an attractive result without folds, always place a hard surface behind the house wrap.

Also Order Screw Nails for Cladding Wood Installation

Wovar also supplies stainless steel screw nails for attaching your wooden facade cladding to rafters. Choose from round head nails on a roll or loose in a box. Always make sure that the ball head of these nails is on the wood and that you do not hit it into the wood. The length of your screw nails is always 2.5 times the plank thickness. So for 18 mm thick rhombus battens, choose ribbed nails of at least 4.5 cm.
