Wall wrap insulation is an important part of many modern wall systems. It is typically installed behind external cladding and works with wall insulation batts to improve the overall performance of the building envelope.

Wall wrap is not the same as wall insulation batts. Instead, it acts as a protective layer that helps control air and moisture movement while allowing the wall system to breathe, depending on the product type.

Wall Wrap, Building Wrap and Vapour Permeable Membranes 

Wall wrap may also be described as building wrap, wall sarking or a vapour permeable membrane. These products are commonly used in external wall systems to help protect the structure and support long-term building performance.

When Do You Need Wall Wrap? 

Wall wrap is commonly used in new builds, extensions, recladding projects and external wall renovations. It is especially important where the wall system requires an additional protective layer behind the external cladding.

Foil Wall Wrap vs Brane VHP Wall Wrap

Foil wrap and Brane VHP are both types of wall wrap, but they have different properties and are suited to different wall systems.

Foil wall wrap is a reflective membrane commonly used with brick veneer wall systems. Its reflective surface can help reduce radiant heat transfer while also providing a protective barrier around the building frame. Product requirements can vary, so suitability should always be checked for the specific wall system.

Brane VHP wall wrap is a highly vapour-permeable membrane designed to allow water vapour to escape from the wall cavity while helping prevent external moisture from entering. It can be used behind brick veneer as well as many lightweight cladding systems, including fibre cement and timber cladding, subject to the product and cladding manufacturer's installation requirements.

The right wall wrap depends on the building design, external cladding, climate zone and moisture-management requirements.
