Do HOUSEWRAPS really improve the energy efficiency of the building?

Yes. The average 2500 square foot house (232m2) has more than ½ mile (806m) of cracks and crevices, which are open to wind and wind driven rain. A properly installed Housewrap system, which includes proper flashing and seals, will vastly improve the overall thermal efficiency and performance of the building’s wall system.
