Berry Launches New Building Wrap for Bulk Water Drainage and High-Performance Weather Protection

DSC_2242_Drainable_Commercial-72dpi (002).jpg
September 19, 2023

Berry Global Group, Inc. announced that it will be expanding its line of high-performance building wraps through the launch of TYPAR® DrainableWrap™ Commercial, the Company’s first drainable building wrap engineered to protect multi-story structures from the elements and manage excess moisture. TYPAR DrainableWrap Commercial has joined TYPAR MetroWrap in the brand’s growing portfolio of building wraps designed specifically for commercial structures.

“Supporting the commercial market has always been important to TYPAR, and the addition of DrainableWrap Commerical is further proof of that commitment,” said Andrew Irvine, product manager, TYPAR. “This new commercial wrap offers the superior UV protection and tear strength needed for commercial job sites while also helping commercial builders and architects address the growing challenge of drainage in high-rise building envelopes.”

DrainableWrap Commercial, available in 5′ by 150′ rolls, offers an elevated ability to deal with excess moisture even faster than most conventional house wraps. This is the result of TYPAR’s patented meltshot technology, which adds an integrated layer of fibers to create an effective drainage gap that channels wind-driven rain and bulk water away from the structure.  

DrainableWrap Commercial can be installed as part of the TYPAR Weather Protection System, which encompasses the brand’s full line of high-performance house wraps, tapes, and accessories. The system balances water and air holdout with the ideal level of moisture vapor transmission while also improving the building’s overall energy efficiency. When installed together, the complete TYPAR Weather Protection System is covered by the only lifetime limited warranty in the industry that includes materials and labor.
