House wrap functions as a weather barrier, preventing rain from getting into the wall assembly while allowing water vapor to pass to the exterior. It is a protective layer under a home's siding and over the sheathing. It is literally wrapped around a home over the wood of foam sheathing. It is cut out around windows and doors and taped at the seams. If moisture from either direction is allowed to build up within stud or cavity walls, mold and rot can set in and fiberglass or cellulose insulation. This can result in both fiberglass and cellulose losing R-value due to heat-conducting moisture.
