Weatherization for open siding
The UV-rated open-joint cladding system includes InvisiWrap UV, HydroFlash UV+,
and Batten UV. InvisiWrap UV is an unprinted, high-performance black nonwoven
building wrap. The product is matte black to avoid competing with other visual
elements of open-joint architecture. It reportedly provides superior water hold out,
ideal vapor permeability, and durability. InvisiWrap UV can be used with siding
openings of as much as 2 in. and has a UV of rating to 12 mo. before siding instal-
lation. HydroFlash UV+ self-adhered fl ashing uses an aggressive acrylic adhesive
for extreme environmental conditions. The product can be used for keeping pene-
tration fl ashing and covering furring strips invisible behind open joints. Batten UV
creates a 3/8-in. rainscreen gap for optimum drainage and drying.
