    • LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier vs. Housewrap

    When it comes to protecting a build against the elements, moisture is a primary concern. There are many ways to combat moisture intrusion. Let’s compare two of the most popular: LP WeatherLogic® panels vs. housewrap.

    Protecting Homes From Water Intrusion

    Water-resistive barriers (WRBs) come in a few different forms: integrated systems, like LP WeatherLogic, and housewrap are two of the most common. WRBs are installed behind the exterior cladding to resist rain and other moisture from getting to the walls of a structure, which then helps prevent the buildup of mold, fungal decay, or rot.

    LP WeatherLogic Air & Water Barrier vs. Housewrap

    Let’s look at a few points of comparison for LP WeatherLogic vs. housewrap.

    Materials

    LP WeatherLogic panels are made from engineered wood and a water-resistive overlay. Housewrap is generally made from high-density polyethylene (HPDE) fibers fused together to form a web.

    Installation

    LP WeatherLogic panels integrate sheathing and WRB technology, making for an easy process. Housewrap installation involves putting the wrap on the structure after sheathing is installed.

    Durability

    Now Structural I, LP WeatherLogic panels offer the strength and durability of engineered wood. Packed with waxes and resins and overlaid with a WRB membrane, they resist water and air penetration. LP WeatherLogic panels are designed to stand up to the installation process while resisting moisture.
