This seems really similar to shower water proofing if you've ever done the paint on variety. It's tough stuff, makes sense to use it on the exterior too.
House wrap is completely dead! Figuring out how to overlap the Tyvek in certain places is a nightmare and its very flimpsy and still prone to leaks. What you did with this Polyguard is going to make that envelope so much more air tight and prone from insects. And it will never rot. Throw in some rain screens and it be even better. I plan to do use the Prosoco Cat 5 on my OSB when I get around to replacing my house with Hardie. Great content!
@@DetachedGarage Yes projects around the house they never end....lol and and I will definaly take you up on that if I ever have any questions on renovations or build science details
That wall actually looked pretty good for being 26 years old!
Right!?!? I am excited for a less drafty house though

It is very similar. This is Vapor permeable though.

Thanks so much for the kind words! Sounds like you have a great project coming up also. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance.
