ProSelect Housewrap - 5' x 200'

Tamlyn ProSelect Commercial Wrap — High-Performance Water & Air Resistive Barrier for Commercial Construction

The Tamlyn TamlynWrap ProSelect Commercial Wrap (TWC5X200) is a multi-layer, non-woven water and air resistive barrier engineered for the harsh demands of commercial and professional construction jobsites. Built from multiple non-woven and barrier layers, it delivers superior resistance to moisture infiltration and air penetration while maintaining a vapor permeability rating of 19 perms — allowing wall assemblies to breathe and dry effectively. It meets or exceeds ICC acceptance criteria for water resistive barriers (AC38), making it fully code-compliant for professional installations. This product is designed for contractors, builders, and trades professionals who require a reliable, performance-tested wrap system that performs at every level of the wall.

Unlike conventional housewraps, ProSelect is engineered specifically with installation safety and quality in mind. Its 5 ft by 200 ft roll format weighs only 25 pounds, reducing fatigue and improving handling at elevated heights while minimizing wind-related installation hazards. When installed as a complete Tamlyn Water Management System with compatible accessories, it qualifies for a 25-year product and labor limited warranty — a level of coverage rarely offered in the category.

Key Features & Benefits

Multi-Layer Non-Woven Construction

ProSelect is manufactured from multiple non-woven and barrier layers that work together to block water and air infiltration while maintaining structural integrity under jobsite conditions. This layered construction resists tearing during installation and exposure to wind events, which is critical when working at elevation. The result is a more durable installation that holds up through the construction phase and the life of the building.

Vapor Permeable — 19 Perm Rating

With a vapor permeability rating of 19 perms, ProSelect allows trapped moisture within wall cavities to escape to the exterior, facilitating drying and reducing the risk of mold, rot, and long-term structural damage. This is especially important in climates with significant humidity fluctuation where moisture management within the wall assembly is critical to building performance and longevity.

Lightweight, Manageable Roll Format

The 5 ft x 200 ft roll covers 1,000 square feet at a roll weight of only 25 pounds, making it practical to carry and install at any height without heavy equipment or additional labor. This roll geometry reduces the number of horizontal seams required in a typical wall installation, improving both efficiency and the integrity of the installed barrier. Lighter rolls also reduce the risk of injury during overhead or elevated installation tasks.

Code Compliant — ICC AC38

ProSelect meets or exceeds ICC acceptance criteria for water resistive barriers (AC38), ensuring that installations pass inspection without additional documentation or variance requests. For commercial projects subject to strict code enforcement, this compliance simplifies the approval process and protects contractors from liability. It is suitable for use on projects requiring verified WRB performance.

Up to 270-Day UV Resistance

With a UV exposure rating of up to 270 days, ProSelect can remain installed and exposed on the building exterior for an extended period before cladding is applied — providing flexibility on large projects or those experiencing scheduling delays. This durability reduces the risk of degradation-related failures that would require re-wrapping before cladding installation.

25-Year Product & Labor Warranty (System)

When installed as a complete Tamlyn Water Management System — including XtremeFlashing Tape, XtremeSealant or BrunnoSeal, XtremeSeam Tape, and XtremeCorners — ProSelect qualifies for a 25-year product and labor limited warranty. Project registration is required. Without the full system, a 15-year product-only limited warranty applies. This level of warranty coverage gives builders and owners long-term protection and demonstrates confidence in the system's performance.

Class A Fire Rating

ProSelect carries a Class A fire rating, the highest classification under standard fire test protocols, which is required on many commercial and multi-family projects. This rating supports compliance with fire codes on projects where the exterior wall assembly must meet elevated fire performance standards.

Common Applications

Commercial Building Envelopes

ProSelect is specifically designed for commercial construction where performance expectations are higher and installation conditions are more demanding. Its multi-layer construction and code compliance make it well-suited for office buildings, retail, mixed-use, and institutional projects.

Multi-Family Residential Construction

For multi-story apartment and condominium projects, the lightweight roll format reduces installation risk at elevated heights and the high perm rating supports moisture management in densely occupied structures where wall assembly performance directly impacts indoor air quality.

High-Rise and Elevated Wall Applications

The 25-pound roll weight and 5-foot width make ProSelect particularly practical for elevated wall applications where workers must manage material at height. Fewer seams and manageable roll size reduce installation time and improve safety on scaffolded or man-lift-accessible walls.

Projects Requiring Extended UV Exposure Tolerance

On large or phased projects where the building envelope may remain exposed for months before cladding is applied, ProSelect's 270-day UV rating ensures the barrier remains intact and functional throughout the construction timeline without requiring re-installation.

Moisture-Sensitive Wall Assemblies

In climates or building types where wall cavity moisture accumulation is a known risk — such as high-humidity regions or buildings with low-permeability cladding systems — ProSelect's 19-perm vapor permeability supports active drying of the wall assembly and reduces long-term mold and rot risk.

Code-Enforced Commercial Projects

For projects under strict building department oversight requiring documented WRB compliance, ProSelect's ICC AC38 certification provides the necessary verification to satisfy plan review and inspection requirements without additional testing or documentation.

Application Instructions

Orientation and Starting Point

1. Begin installation at the base of the wall and work upward in shingle fashion so each successive course overlaps the one below.
2. Integrate ProSelect with all other wall components to promote positive mechanical drainage from the outset of installation.

Overlaps and Seams

1. Maintain a minimum 6-inch overlap on all horizontal seams.
2. Maintain a minimum 6-inch overlap on all vertical seams.
3. At any corners, provide a minimum 12-inch vertical overlap.
4. Tape all seams with Tamlyn XtremeSeam Tape when qualifying for the 25-year system warranty.

Fastening

1. Use cap fasteners throughout for all attachment points — standard staples are not acceptable per installation guidelines and warranty requirements.
2. Follow Tamlyn's published installation guidelines for fastener spacing and placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the 15-year and 25-year warranty?
A: The 15-year warranty covers the ProSelect product itself against manufacturing defects when installed per Tamlyn guidelines. The 25-year product and labor warranty requires installation as a complete Tamlyn Water Management System — including XtremeFlashing Tape, XtremeSealant or BrunnoSeal, XtremeSeam Tape, and XtremeCorners — plus project registration with Tamlyn prior to or immediately following installation.

Q: Is ProSelect Commercial Wrap code-compliant for commercial projects?
A: Yes. ProSelect meets or exceeds ICC acceptance criteria for water resistive barriers (AC38), making it suitable for use on commercial projects subject to building department inspection and plan review without additional testing documentation.

Q: Can ProSelect be left exposed before cladding is installed?
A: Yes, ProSelect is rated for up to 270 days of UV exposure, providing flexibility on phased or large projects where cladding may not be applied immediately after the wrap is installed. Exceeding this exposure period may void warranty coverage.

Q: Why must cap fasteners be used instead of standard staples?
A: Cap fasteners distribute holding force over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of the fastener tearing through the wrap during wind events or over time. Per Tamlyn's installation guidelines and warranty terms, cap fasteners are required throughout — use of standard staples is a basis for warranty exclusion.

Q: How does the 19-perm vapor rating benefit wall performance?
A: A 19-perm rating classifies ProSelect as a vapor permeable barrier, which allows moisture that enters the wall cavity to diffuse outward and escape. This drying potential reduces the risk of trapped moisture causing mold growth, wood rot, or degradation of insulation — a critical performance characteristic in both hot-humid and cold climates.

Q: How do I register my project for the 25-year warranty?
A: Download and complete the Tamlyn Water Management System Warranty Registration form and submit it by email to [email protected] or by fax to 281-499-8948.
