Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Sealing housewrap seams with a permeable tape like BreatheEZ is one of the cheapest ways to tighten the building envelope without trapping moisture. Lap shingle-style seams and tape them flat and firm, avoiding dusty or wet surfaces so the adhesive bonds. Keep a roll with the wrap crew since tape jobs on the wall beat re-work later.
Apply from stable footing or proper staging when taping wall openings at height; ensure surfaces are clean and dry for full adhesion.
Add the KB BreatheEZ Housewrap Tape 1-7/8 in. x 165 ft. roll to your next exterior wall job.
