Benjamin Obdyke Launches Flagship HydroGap Drainable Housewrap in Canada

Benjamin Obdyke Inc. recently introduced its flagship product, HydroGap drainable housewrap, to Ontario, Canada. Designed for custom residential homebuilders and large-volume production projects, HydroGap will be available through Nicholson and Cates Limited.  

HydroGap Drainable Housewrap received approval from the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) earlier this year. Available in 5-foot by 100-foot rolls, HydroGap provides true drainage versus other housewraps, according to the company. HydroGap allows water to drain away from the wall in seconds, eliminating the propensity for water to go into thousands of nail holes, flashing details and other penetration points to cause damage. 

 “Speed of installation is absolutely crucial for production and new home builders. We are always looking for ways to help our customers build better and develop quality, compliant solutions for every project,” said Shawn Pilon, Marketing Manager at Nicholson and Cates. “We know our current customers will love working with HydroGap, and we are excited to introduce HydroGap to the Ontario market to allow for more efficient and durable building practices.” 

In addition to superior drainage performance, HydroGap offers an unmatched system warranty that guarantees quality and performance for 15 years. The product has also achieved certification by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) for housewrap standards. According to the company, HydroGap offers a way for builders to differentiate their projects in the market, by allowing them to provide a superior protection system and peace-of-mind for home and building owners. 

Benjamin Obdyke recognizes the growing need for protection against extreme weather conditions as well as the need to address changing building codes and practices. Products like HydroGap continue to become more important within the marketplace. As the need for new code requirements is being recognized throughout Canada, Benjamin Obdyke prioritizes improved recommendations for drainable housewraps in their technical bulletins and installation guides.
