| Johns Manville rolls out Gorilla Wrap and DuraBase Johns Manville's (JM) Engineered Products Group, a global leader in the nonwoven industry, is responding to builders' needs by introducing two new products -- Gorilla Wrap(TM), a translucent, non-perforated housewrap and DuraBase(TM), an asphalt and nonwoven polyester roofing underlayment. Gorilla Wrap(TM) is a non-perforated, nonwoven polymeric housewrap material that decreases air infiltration resulting in increased energy efficiency and maximum moisture control. Gorilla Wrap's superior strength, with a tear resistance that is 300 percent higher than the leading housewrap, reduces builder concern during installation and makes it one of the most durable housewrap products on the market. The unique composition of Johns Manville's new DuraBase(TM) roofing underlayment employs the proven technology of asphalt with a new high-performance nonwoven polyester reinforcement. DuraBase creates highly-efficient installation processes because it unrolls flat in warm and cold weather, weighs less than felt and provides greater coverage per roll, which all means faster installation and less effort and hassle to transport and handle the product on rooftops. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
