A spray applied building construction coating material forms a
waterproofing, water vapor permeable, air barrier, building wrap coating
layer between an exterior facing surface of a building sheathing layer
and an interior facing surface of an exterior building cladding layer. A
building construction assembly is formed by spray coating the exterior
surface of the sheathing layer with the coating material or by spray
coating gaps in the sheathing layer with the coating material and spray
coating the exterior surface of the sheathing layer and previously coated
gaps in the sheathing layer with a second coat of the coating material
and applying an exterior cladding layer over the coating layer(s). For
most applications, the coating material is formulated or includes
additives whereby it solidifies on the sheathing to form a coating layer
that has an exterior facing, textured surface. This exterior facing,
textured surface provides passages between the exterior facing surface of
the coating layer and an interior facing surface of the exterior cladding
layer for draining water from between and permitting air flow between the
exterior facing surface of the coating layer and the interior facing
surface of the exterior cladding layer.
