WeatherSmart is a housewrap and weather resistant barrier made by Henry, widely used on residential and commercial construction projects across the Northeast. International Building Supply stocks WeatherSmart at our Naugatuck yard for contractors across New Haven, Litchfield & Fairfield County.
A weather resistant barrier sits between your wall sheathing and exterior cladding. Its job is to block water and air from getting into the wall assembly from outside while still allowing moisture vapor from inside to escape. Get that balance wrong and you end up with walls that trap moisture, leading to mold, rot, and structural issues down the road.
WeatherSmart handles that balance well. The nonwoven polypropylene construction resists tearing on the job site, which matters when you're wrapping a house in Connecticut in October with wind on the site. The polymer coating provides UV stability that holds up during extended exposure between sheathing and cladding install, which on a busy job site can be weeks or months.
It works behind all standard exterior claddings including fiber cement, vinyl, brick, and wood siding. For contractors using James Hardie or LP SmartSide on Connecticut homes, WeatherSmart is a compatible and code-compliant barrier solution.
