Barrier composite with an integral release layer and method of making same

A method of adhering a drainage barrier composite to a wall surface comprising:

• a) providing a barrier layer composite roll comprising:
• a barrier layer that is water resistant, wherein liquid water will not pass through the barrier composite for 5 minutes with a 25 mm water column;
• an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is attached to an interior surface of the barrier layer;
• an integral release material;
• wherein the integral release material is configured on the barrier layer opposite said interior surface of the barrier layer to form bonded areas of the integral release material that are bonded to the barrier layer and non-bonded areas of the integral release material that are not bonded to the barrier layer;
• wherein the barrier composite roll has a plurality or layers with an adhesive layer of a first layer of barrier composite adjacent the integral release material of a second layer of the barrier composite;
• and
• wherein the non-bonded areas of the integral release material of said second layer of the barrier composite are configured to fracture and stick to said adhesive layer of said first layer of barrier composite when the barrier composite roll is unspooled
• b) unrolling the draining barrier composite and during unrolling separating a portion of the integral release layer onto the adhesive layer;
• and
• c) pressing the adhesive layer of the barrier composite onto said exterior wall surface to adhere the barrier composite to said exterior surface.
