When standard 10-minute or 30-minute papers aren’t enough, GMCraft 60 Single Building Paper, distributed nationwide by A1A Wholesale Supply, delivers the heavy-duty protection required for high-end residential and commercial construction. This asphalt-saturated kraft paper acts as a secondary weather barrier, shielding the structural sheathing and interior wall cavities from bulk water intrusion and wind-driven rain.

GM Craft 60 is particularly valued in stucco and masonry applications. Its thicker, more heavily saturated composition provides an excellent “bond-break” surface, preventing the stucco from adhering directly to the building wrap and allowing any incidental moisture to drain away safely. With a water resistance rating that exceeds 70 minutes, it provides nearly double the protection of standard building papers, making it essential for regions with high rainfall or for projects with extended construction timelines.

Features & Benefits

• High-Performance Water Resistance: Exceeds ASTM D 779 standards with a 70+ minute rating, offering superior defense against moisture leakage.

• Enhanced Durability: Thicker and more resilient than standard papers, it resists tearing during lath installation and standing up to job site foot traffic.

• Optimal Moisture Management: Provides a “breathable” barrier that allows interior moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.

• Professional Grade Bond-Break: Ideal for traditional hard-coat stucco and manufactured stone veneer, ensuring the cladding can move independently of the wall structure.

• Versatile Sizing: Available in both single and double-cover lengths to accommodate specific job site requirements and local building codes.

Applications

• Premium Stucco Underlayment: The preferred WRB for multi-coat stucco systems in high-exposure areas.

• Stone Veneer & Brick Tie-ins: Provides a rugged moisture shield behind heavy masonry claddings.

• Commercial Building Envelope: Suitable for large-scale projects requiring extended “dry-in” protection.

• High-Performance Residential: Used in custom home building to prevent long-term condensation and wood rot damage.
