Protective drainage wraps
First Claim
1. A protective drainage wrap comprising:
- a cross-woven material portion, cross-laminate material portion or mesh material portion in a first direction and in a second direction, the material in the first direction comprising a polyolefin, polyester, nylon or combinations thereof, the material in the second direction comprising a polyolefin, polyester, nylon or combinations thereof, the first direction being roughly perpendicular to the second direction, the cross-woven material portion, cross-laminate material portion or mesh material portion being adapted to facilitate a drainage path, wherein the first direction material has a first thickness, the second direction material having a second thickness, the second thickness being at least about 2 times greater than the first thickness so as to assist in providing drainage for moisture build-up; and
a breathable solid layer portion being attached to the cross-woven material portion, cross-laminate material portion or mesh material portion, the breathable solid layer portion being adapted to allow water vapor to flow therethrough in the absence of pinholes or interstices.

Abstract
A protective drainage wrap comprises a cross-woven material portion, cross-laminate material portion or mesh material portion in first and second directions and a breathable solid layer portion. The material in the first and second directions comprises a polyolefin, polyester, nylon or combinations thereof. The first direction being roughly perpendicular to the second direction. The cross-woven, cross-laminate or mesh material portions being adapted to facilitate a drainage path. The breathable solid layer portion is attached to the cross-woven material portion, cross-laminate material portion or mesh material portion. The breathable solid layer portion is adapted to allow water vapor to flow therethrough.
