When the project specifications demand maximum moisture defense with zero compromises, GMCraft 60 Double Building Paper, distributed by A1A Wholesale Supply, is the professional’s choice. This heavyweight paper is deeply saturated with asphalt to provide nearly double the water resistance of standard building papers. The “Double” roll is purposefully cut to a 49-foot length, making it more manageable for crews working on scaffolding or in tight spaces where full-sized rolls are cumbersome.

GM Craft 60 acts as a critical “bond-break” in stucco and cultured stone applications. It prevents the scratch coat from adhering to the building’s sheathing, allowing for natural expansion and contraction while ensuring any incidental water drains away through the weep screed. Its high-performance rating (70+ minutes) makes it essential for high-wind and heavy-rainfall regions where interior wall damage from condensation or leakage is a significant risk.

Product Details

• Manufacturer: GMCraft.

• Material: Heavyweight asphalt-saturated kraft building paper.

• Roll Dimensions: 40″ wide x 49′ long.

• Weight: 19 lbs per roll.

• Coverage: 162 sq. ft. per roll.

• Performance: ASTM D 779 Water Resistance > 70 minutes.

• Logistics: 100 rolls per pallet / 26 pallets per truckload.

Features & Benefits

• Elite Water Resistance: Exceeds ASTM D 779 standards by providing a 70-minute barrier, protecting the structure long after standard papers would fail.

• Optimized for Stucco: Provides the necessary separation between the lath/stucco and the wood structure to prevent moisture-induced rot.

• Breathable Moisture Barrier: Effectively blocks liquid water while allowing vapor to pass through, preventing the “greenhouse effect” and mold growth within the wall.

• Manageable Roll Size: The 49-foot “Double” roll is lighter and easier to maneuver than standard 72-foot rolls, reducing installer fatigue and improving accuracy.

• Superior Tear Strength: The heavy asphalt saturation adds tensile strength, helping the paper resist damage from fasteners and metal lath during installation.

Applications

• High-Exposure Stucco: The primary weather-resistant barrier (WRB) for traditional and synthetic stucco systems.

• Manufactured Stone Veneer: Provides a rugged moisture shield behind heavy masonry applications.

• Commercial Envelope Protection: Ideal for buildings in coastal or high-precipitation environments.

• Code-Compliant Barrier: Meets and exceeds strict building codes requiring a “60-minute” paper or better.
