Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Sealing every horizontal and vertical lap and all penetrations is what makes a house wrap function as an air barrier, so budget tape generously and apply it with firm pressure from the roll center outward on clean, dry wrap. In cold weather, roll the tape warm and press harder, since acrylic adhesives need contact pressure to fully bond. Store rolls out of direct sun and dust until used.

Apply on stable ladders or scaffolding with fall protection when taping upper laps, and keep tape away from skin and eyes during cutting.
