Re: Wall wrap requriement for brick veneer walls with timber 6May 16, 2024 6:50 am ML24WA Thinking of using this stuff for my extension: https://proclima.com.au/solitex-extasana/ Has anyone got experience with this product? It will be going under JH vertical cladding. OR so I use a JH specific house wrap with the JH cladding? Cheers Hi, I had a quick look at specification and its looks similar to James Hardie wrap. You can download datasheets for both and compare everthing. Contact suppliers to get price and warranty info and make the call accordingly. FYI, James Hardie offers 10 year warranty.

Hi Sleepless Knights, NOTE THE BELOW INFORMATION IS BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM FACEBOOK GROUP WHERE I POSTED THE SAME POST. I was told by few people to not to get Thermoseal as it's being phased out as it can cause potentially cause more issues. I went with Enviroseal for brick areas and used Hardie™ Wrap Weather Barrier for James Hardier linea cladding for first floor. Both of them breath and doesn't cause more condensation. The cost difference shouldn't be much for all of three. James Hardie wrap is semi reflective better in a temperate climate like Sydney, both wraprs are class 4 or permeable hence, neither will increase your condensation risk. Enviroseal has 0.9 emittance (non reflective) and James Hardie is 0.15 (semi reflective) hence in summer James Hardier will potentially help keep house cooler, both will improve air tightness and both are permeable. In summary, I would not recommend Thermoseal. Both Enivroseal and James Hardier wraps are pretty much same except the emittance values and apparently James Hardier is better for Sydney Climate. Get quotes for both of them and make a call accordingly. I hope this helps! Re: Wall wrap requriement for brick veneer walls with timber 11Jun 17, 2024 9:20 pm We used pro clima walls and roof. It's a high quality product (good vapour permeability and water resistance) and can withstand UV for a long period of time. Pro clima's tapes are known to be one of the better ones on the market, hence why a lot of high performance builders use them. We taped to the bottom and top plates and taped all penetrations. Pro clima also recommend a ventilated cavity on the walls and roof to let any moisture that does get behind the cladding to dry out. Our builder used 35mm battens for this. Have heard Bradford Enviroseal proctor wrap is also a good product. I think it's wise to use vapour permeable (class 4) for most climates (not including tropical) regardless if the code requires it.
