PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
A. Comply with the instruction and recommendations of the manufacturer
3.2 EXAMINATION
A. Site Verification of Conditions
1. Verify that site conditions are acceptable for installation of housewrap.
2. Do not proceed with installation of housewrap until unacceptable
conditions are corrected.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. Basic Installation
1. Unroll Tamlyn ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap with filaments facing to the
exterior and fasten to sheathing with cap fasteners
2. Fasteners should provide a minimum ½” penetration into the nail base and
be spaced approximately 12 – 18 inches apart along the horizontal and
vertical laps. Fasten every 3 sq. ft. elsewhere.
3. Tamlyn ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap should be installed shingle lap
fashion (i.e. begin installation at the base of the wall assembly). Extend
housewrap a minimum 2” over sill plate.
4. Overlap all horizontal and vertical seams at least 6 inches and corners by
12 inches.
5. Be sure that the housewrap installation and flashing provide for positive
drainage to the exterior of the assembly.
6. Do not allow the housewrap to be exposed to sunlight in excess of 120
days. Recommended coverage within 30 days.

7. Optionally, tape all Tamlyn ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap seams with
XtremeSeam™ Tape.
B. Window Preparation
1. Wrap the entire building including window and door openings.
2. At each window opening, cut and “I” shape into the housewrap. Cut the
housewrap above top corners at 45° away from window opening to account
for flashing width.
3. Fold side and bottom flaps into rough opening and cut/fasten.
4. Fold up top trapezoid shaped “flap” and secure temporarily with tap prior
to installing window.
C. Flanged Window Installation
1. Install sill flashing system
2. Apply caulk/sealant at jambs and head
3. Install flanged window
4. Install jamb flashing
5. Install head flashing
6. Fold top flap back down on top of flashed header window flange and tape
diagonal cuts
D. Special Considerations
1. Flash other wall penetrations (such as outlets, exhaust vents, etc.) with
proper shingling technique to maintain drainage to the exterior.
2. Tap all tears and holes that may have been inadvertently introduced
during the construction process.
3. When installing Tamlyn ProSelect™ Commercial Wrap as the primary air
barrier, consider the following:
i. Tape all seams with XtremeSeam™ Tape
ii. Seal the top of the last course to the sheathing or top plate
iii. Tape/seal all penetration and tears
iv. Use cap fasteners
3.4. Warranty – 15 years
