Lay down the foundation, build the walls, add the roof, install the insulation, put in the drywall, and then complete the construction by installing the siding on the home’s exterior. As fun as it would be for home construction to be that simple, the reality is actually more complicated than that and before your siding can be installed, there is another thing that must be added to your home: the house wrap. In a nutshell, the house wrap is moisture and air barrier that can further help you keep your heating and cooling bills as low as possible. This is because it acts as an additional form of insulation, allowing you to rely less on your HVAC units while keeping your home comfortable all year round. However, this isn’t the only thing that you should know about house wrap. In fact, there are plenty of things that you should know about it. In this article, the siding installation pros of Peninsula Siding Company, Inc. discuss the FAQs about house wrap that you should know about.

According to siding industry pros, if your home was built decades or even a century ago, chances are it doesn’t have house wrap. This is because house wraps are a fairly new addition to home construction and therefore, you can expect very old homes to lack them. Thankfully, if you live in an old home, you’re more than free to retrofit them to include a house wrap. But keep in mind that, depending on the size, age, construction, and siding type of your home, the costs and difficulty of the project can vary. With that in mind, home improvement experts recommend that you first make sure that you’re financially prepared to get a house wrap added to your old home first before actually going through with it.

This is due to the fact that it’s installed beneath your siding, allowing it to remain protected for a long time as a result. According to home construction experts, unless your home suffers from a fire or any other form of structural damage, your house wrap should remain in good condition for a long time, giving you little to no reason to have it replaced or changed even though years have passed for your siding and your home.
