12. Alternative Method for Sealing

Overlapped Building Wrap Seams

Common adhesives can be used to seal overlapped seams of
GreenGuard® Air Barrier Building Wraps. It is applied using a
standard caulking gun and is easily extruded.

When using common adhesives to seal building wrap seams as an
alternative to using seam tape, install the adhesive as follows:

Apply 1/8 to 1/2 inch bead of sealant on the lower course
of building wrap. Make sure that the horizontal overlap of the
upper building wrap course is at least 2 inches. Apply hand
pressure to the overlap to create a full seal.

Go to www.TrustGreenGuard.com for a list of adhesives (see
Technical Bulletin No.TB011 under “Product Literature”.)
