A composite drainage mat for preventing water and moisture from remaining trapped within walls and roofs of buildings which includes a weather barrier fixedly attached to a three-dimensional matrix filamentatious mat of a thermoplastic polyamide resin such as Nylon 6. The mat contains a great number of voids for permitting gas and liquid such as water to flow therethrough. The mat possesses a crush-resistance which allows the mat to withstand the compressive force of other building materials without inhibiting the ability of the mat to allow liquids and gases to flow therethrough.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing, an objective of the invention includes providing an improved composite drainage mat.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that provides a weather barrier attached to a drainage mat.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that is easier to install than individual weather barriers and drainage mats.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that is more cost effective than individual weather barriers and drainage mats.
An additional objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that can be installed more quickly than individual weather barriers and drainage mats.
An additional objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that permits enhanced integrity of the weather barrier.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that provides protection from water and other effects of the environment while simultaneously providing ventilation and drainage between the weather barrier and the external wall covering.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that permits the drainage mat to be easily detached from the weather barrier, without damage to either, to facilitate working of the composite drainage mat around penetrations or openings in the walls such as windows, doors, etc.
An additional objective of the invention is to provide a composite drainage mat that can be used in roofing applications.
