BEST PRACTICE
INSTALLATION
Tamlyn continues to lead the way in selection and choice for trims to compliment siding panels and planks of all types.
The infiltration of moisture can lead to structural deterioration, shorten the life of exterior claddings and paints, while also fostering mold and rot which will harm the structure and pose health hazards. With these conditions, the key becomes the removal of liquid bulk water and water vapor as quickly as possible to
avoid damage to structural components and this is where Tamlyn and its multiple options of Water Management Systems excels.
The key to building durable structures is more than just applying building paper or a wrap. It’s about employing tried and proven water management principles to develop a moisture management system that addresses all the mechanisms of moisture movement. It is a guide for architectural design, product selection and construction practice. Preventing moisture damage and call backs is really about implementing a system to effectively control moisture as a liquid and as a vapor.
Tamlyn has worked with leading building science innovators to become a leader in providing multiple systems to facilitate proper water management. These systems include TamlynWrap® Drainable Wrap, TamlynWrap® ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap and accessories as well as the Tamlyn vented rainscreen systems.
BEST PRACTICE
INSTALLATION
Installation Notes:
Extend TamlynWrap® ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap a minimum of 2” over the foundation ledge.
• TamlynWrap® ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap should always be lapped in shingle fashion starting from the lowest point. Proper shingling is required to shed water through gravity and to prevent water from entering the wall system.
• Unroll TamlynWrap® ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap and fasten to sheathing with cap-fasteners.
• Fasteners should provide a minimum 1/2” penetration into the nail base and be spaced approximately 12” to 18” apart along the horizontal and vertical laps. Fasten 36” apart everywhere else.
• Overlap Horizontal and Vertical seams by at least 6” and corners by 12”. Stagger vertical seams wherever possible.
• Seam Tape Requirements • Tape all seams using XtremeSeam™ Tape in order to meet the 25 year warranty and air barrier requirements.
• Install seam tape using TAMLYN guidelines.
• Be sure that the wrap installation and flashing allows drainage to the exterior of the assembly.
• Do not allow the wrap to be exposed to sunlight in excess of 270 days.
*Note: Use a sharp blade or scissors to cut TamlynWrap® ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap
