House wrap is a lightweight, synthetic material placed underneath your siding. If you have an older home, you might have asphalt-coated felt paper (the original form of house wrap.) Today, it's common to see products like Tyvek, Typar, or Blueskin.

House wrap is essential because it's your home's protective layer between your siding and the wooden framing. Because some siding is not waterproof, house wrap is a home’s last line of defense against air leaks, water infiltration, and leaks. This thin resilient, weather-resistant barrier prevents rain from getting into the framing while allowing water vapor to pass to the exterior.
