A house wrap is a type of material used in construction to provide an extra layer of protection for your home. Installed between the outer siding and the building’s framing, it serves as a barrier against moisture, wind, and air infiltration, while still allowing your home to “breathe.” It’s typically made from synthetic materials, like polyethylene or polypropylene, and is used in both new builds and home renovations.
