Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to sheathings generally used for building structures. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to vapor-permeable, water-resistant, surface-treated sheathings having a drainage plane.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Sheathings are widely used in construction to form the exterior surface of a building or as an intermediary layer between the exterior surface and the interior framework of the building. These sheathings may typically be exposed to liquid water from outside the building, in the form of atmospheric precipitation, as well as water vapor from inside the building. The sheathings may also be exposed to liquid water from inside the building due to moisture introduced into the framework during the building process.
- Much of the building industry relies upon the use of non-water-resistant sheathings with low permeability. The sheathings are fastened to the building frame and covered with construction fabric in the form of “house wrap”, to protect from water intrusion and to allow water vapor to escape. This method traps any moisture inside the wall cavity behind the sheathing regardless of its permeability. Introduction of liquid water to the internal structure may cause problems such as mold and rot which can compromise the integrity of the structure.
- Additionally, if exterior cladding is installed over house wraps, to increase water-resistance, the cladding is generally fastened tightly against the house wrap surface. This provides an opportunity for water to become entrapped in localized areas. The entrapped water may thus enter the non-water-resistant sheathing either by directly passing through the house wrap or by following a path of least resistance through any fastener locations. Attempted solutions have included using apertures in- or varying the thickness of vapor-permeable but water-resistant layers, such as adhesive layers and outer resin layers, to increase the permeability. Both have failed to meet industry needs.
- Thus, there is a need for an improved sheathing.
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to sheathings generally used for building structures. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to vapor-permeable, water-resistant, surface-treated sheathings having a drainage plane.
- In one embodiment a sheathing comprises a plurality of core layers, a first and second surface layer, each defining an exterior surface of the sheathing, and a plurality of adhesive layers, each disposed between each of the plurality of core layers, wherein the sheathing comprises a permeability rate of at least about 5 perms, and an absorption rate of less than about 15% water-by-weight.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, a sheathing comprises at least four core layers comprising a cellulosic or polymeric material, a first and second surface layer comprising a layer of clay impregnated polyvinyl alcohol adhesive, and a plurality of clay impregnated polyvinyl alcohol adhesive layers, each disposed between each of the core layers, wherein the sheathing comprises a permeability rate of at least about 5 perms, and an absorption rate of less than about 15% water-by-weight.
- A method of protecting a structure, comprises providing a sheathing having a plurality of core layers, a first and second surface layer, each defining an exterior surface of the sheathing, and a plurality of adhesive layers, each disposed between each of the plurality of core layers, wherein the sheathing comprises a permeability rate of at least about 5 perms, and an absorption rate of less than about 15% water-by-weight, and adhering the sheathing to a structural member of the structure using an attachment means.

The ASTM E96, Desiccant Method, is conducted in a controlled environment, whereby samples are edge sealed all around the surface of a container holding anhydrous chloride. Weight measurement reading is taken until a consistent linear gain is recognized to determine the materials ability to pass water vapor. - Additional experimental embodiments of the present invention have demonstrated about a 15% water-by-weight absorption rate after immersion in de-ionized water for 24 hours.
Such sheathings 100 have also met or exceeded water-resistance test criteria such as the “Canadian Pond Test”, wherein a sample of the material is clamped between two annular rings that are 7.8 inches (200 mm) in diameter with a rubber type gasket. Water is then poured into the top ring to a height of 1 inch (25.4 mm). The assembly is raised 10 inches (250 mm) and monitored for two hours. A desirous result would one in which no leakage shall occur through the specimen during the two hour period. - Additional experimental embodiments of the present invention, have also demonstrated at least about a 90% drainage rate when tested using standards such as, for example, ASTM E2273. Testing using the ASTM E2273 standard comprises constructing a full wall, 4 feet in length and 8 feet in height, using a
sheathing 100 in accordance with embodiments of the present invention to be tested. Thesheathing 100 is covered with a solid foam or plastic sheet that covers the entire surface. A 2 inch by 24 inch slot is cut through the foam plastic cover sheet and 106 cc/min is sprayed into the slot for 75 minutes. The water that drains through the space between the foam/plastic and the sheathing is collected in a collection trough at the wall bottom. The water is allowed to drain for 60 minutes after the 75-minute spray is ended. The collected water is measured. -
