Dry wall

Residential Architect, Nov-Dec, 2002 by Nigel F. Maynard

Because architects "repurpose" Benjamin Obdyke's Cedar Breather roofing underlayment and spec it for exterior walls, the company has designed one specifically for that application. Home Slicker is a 3-D nylon matrix that provides a continuous air and drainage space along exterior walls to protect them from moisture damage, the Horsham, Pa.-based company says. Applied over housewrap or building paper, it lowers moisture levels under various siding materials but is ideal for wood-lap siding, wood shingles or shakes, and fiber cement. It comes in rolls measuring 39 inches by 46 1/2 feet. Benjamin Obdyke, 215.672.7200; www.benjaminobdyke.com.
