HydroGap SA Housewrap
HydroGap SA combines air-sealing and drainage capabilities in a single product. Its vapor-permeable acrylic adhesive creates a continuous barrier against air infiltration while allowing moisture to escape. Ideal for high-performance building envelopes, this system reduces the risk of mold and rot by managing water intrusion effectively.
Rainscreen Systems
Our rainscreen systems provide critical drainage and drying performance for siding and masonry applications. By creating a ventilated cavity behind cladding materials, these systems prevent moisture buildup and enhance thermal efficiency. Designed for compatibility with various exterior finishes, they ensure long-term structural integrity in diverse climates.
Roof Ventilation
Benjamin Obdyke's roof ventilation products, including Cedar Breather and Rapid Ridge vents, optimize airflow in both wood and metal roofing systems. Proper ventilation extends roof lifespan by preventing heat and moisture accumulation, improving energy efficiency, and reducing the risk of ice dams in colder climates.
Vapor Management
Our vapor management solutions, including VaporWise and VaporDry SA, regulate moisture movement through building envelopes. These products adapt to changing humidity conditions, preventing condensation issues in walls and roofs while maintaining indoor air quality and structural performance.
Ridge Ventilation
The Shark Vent and Cougar LP ridge vent systems provide premium airflow solutions for residential and commercial roofs. Their baffled designs ensure continuous ventilation along the roof ridge, improving attic air circulation, reducing energy costs, and preventing premature roof degradation from heat and moisture buildup.
