Ecoply Logo Ecoply™ Barrier

Ecoply™ Barrier is a rigid air barrier designed for use in drained wall systems in residential and commercial buildings.

The Ecoply Barrier system provides a weather tight rigid air barrier for drained and vented cavity systems outside the building frame effectively replacing traditional building wrap in the cavity while providing superior structural bracing and forming a strong secondary line of defence against moisture penetration into the building envelope.
