BreaEase
Breathable Protection for High-Performance Wall Assemblies
BreaEase is a breathable building envelope membrane designed to help protect walls from wind, water, and moisture intrusion while allowing water vapor to escape and wall assemblies to dry naturally. Lightweight, durable, and easy to install, BreaEase provides reliable air and water control behind exterior cladding while helping reduce the conditions that can contribute to mold, rot, and moisture-related damage.
Designed for use behind a variety of exterior finishes, BreaEase is suitable for wall assemblies incorporating siding, brick, stucco, and other cladding systems. Its durable, weather-resistant construction provides dependable protection during construction and helps support long-term building envelope performance.
Key Advantages:
- Breathable Moisture Control – Allows water vapor to escape while helping protect wall assemblies from bulk water intrusion.
- Air & Water Protection – Helps control air movement and moisture infiltration behind exterior cladding.
- Helps Protect Wall Assemblies – Reduces moisture-related conditions that can contribute to mold, rot, and building damage.
- Lightweight & Easy to Install – Simple to handle and install, helping contractors work efficiently and keep construction moving.
- Built for Demanding Weather – Designed to provide reliable protection across a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions.
- UV-Resistant Protection – Provides temporary weather protection during exterior construction before the final cladding is installed.
- Versatile Cladding Compatibility – Suitable for installation behind siding, brick, stucco, and other exterior cladding systems.
