Cedar Breather®
 |
Cedar Breather® is the solution
for preserving the beauty and life of wood roofing. As
an underlayment for wood shingles and shakes, Cedar Breather
provides space for a continuous air flow between the solid
roof deck and the shingles. Benjamin Obdyke's patented
three-dimensional design allows the entire underside of
the shingle to dry, eliminating excess moisture, preventing
thermal cupping and warping, and reducing potential rotting.
For quick and easy installation,
Cedar Breather rolls out over standard 30 lb. felt,
installs without any special tools, and eliminates the
need for furring strips. Its fire-resistant nylon matrix
remains unaffected by UV light, heat or cold, for long-lasting,
durable performance.

Home Slicker™
 |
Home Slicker™ is the answer for
protecting wall systems from the damaging effects of moisture.
Wind-driven rain from the outside, moisture vapor from
the home’s interior, and corrosive surfactants that leak
from certain types of siding, usually remain trapped in
between the siding and building paper or housewrap. This
unvented moisture can negatively impact the performance
of siding systems and building paper or housewrap. It
can also lead to the development of mold and mildew in
the wall space, potentially creating health concerns.
Unvented moisture behind cladding systems can also cause
premature failure of paints or stains. Home Slicker effectively
drains moisture from behind the siding, reducing the chances
of premature peeling or blistering of finishes. |
Home Slicker’s unique three-dimensional
Nylon matrix provides a continuous space for drying, channels
for drainage, a thermal break, and pressure equalization,
allowing moisture to escape quickly before it damages the
sidewall materials. Wood, fiber cement and EIFS systems, as
well as brick and vinyl, are ideal cladding systems for use
with Home Slicker. With quick, easy installation, Home Slicker
provides maintenance-free protection for the home.
