Wall Wrap: Protect Your Home from Moisture, Wind & Heat Loss
Share
Wall wrap is a crucial yet often overlooked part of a building’s thermal and moisture protection system. Whether you’re building new or renovating, installing a high-quality wall wrap can greatly improve energy efficiency and weather resistance. At Adelaide Insulation Centre, we stock leading Ametalin wall wrap products suitable for South Australian conditions.
What Is Wall Wrap?
Wall wrap is a flexible, reflective membrane that’s installed behind external cladding. It acts as a second skin for your home — reducing draughts, helping to manage moisture, and improving the overall thermal performance of your building envelope.
Benefits of Using Wall Wrap
- Reduces air infiltration and draughts
- Improves energy efficiency by minimising heat loss
- Acts as a moisture barrier to protect framing and insulation
- Enhances the performance of bulk insulation like Earthwool
- Complies with NCC and energy rating requirements

Installation Tips
Wall wrap should be installed over the wall frame and behind external cladding. Overlap edges by at least 150mm and tape all joins. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation guide to ensure compliance with local codes and best practices.
