Abstract
A barrier laminate for attachment to the outer surface of a structure, such as a house prior to attachment of its siding, to cover joints between structural members assembled to form the structure. The barrier laminate comprises a flexible elongate barrier layer having minute passageways between its major surfaces affording passage of water vapor while restricting the passage of liquid water and air between its major surfaces. Means providing an exposed layer of pressure sensitive adhesive along each of the opposite edges of the barrier layer are provided for adhering the barrier layer to structural members on opposite sides of a joint therebetween.
