Double-Duty Wall Membrane

The vapor permeability of Benjamin Obdyke’s VaporWise interior membrane changes along with seasonal changes in humidity levels.

For starters, the vapor permeability of Benjamin Obdyke’s VaporWise interior membrane changes along with seasonal changes in humidity levels. When humidity is low, the vapor-variable membrane acts as a Class II vapor retarder. As humidity increases, so does the membrane’s permeability, allowing moisture to escape, helping to dry the wall cavity. Additionally, a layer of reinforced mesh adds strength, and a translucent outer layer enables installers to monitor insulation blown into the cavities. A 59-inch-by-164-foot roll covers 806 square feet. We found prices that vary from around $380 to $430. benjaminobdyke.com
