Centria MetalWrap Series

Centria has expanded its MetalWrap series. The insulated composite backup panel for use with metal exteriors is now available for use with brick and terra-cotta. The series incorporates a single thermal, air, and moisture barrier backup panel that can be used with all three exterior materials or any combination thereof. Because MetalWrap is made up of a single-panel component, it reduces the number of potential failures, which could lead to moisture buildup in the wall cavity and stud corrosion, poor insulation performance, and mold. buildbetterwalls.com
