DuPont™ Tyvek®—the protective material with more than 30 years of performance in millions of homes.
Wrapping a home or building in a weather-resistant barrier is not just good sense, it’s good building practice. Because it helps combat water, moisture and air infiltration that are any structure’s worst enemies. Allowed to penetrate behind siding, wind-driven rain and moisture can saturate walls, creating a breeding ground for mould, mildew and wood rot. The properties of DuPont™ Tyvek® do not support the growth of mould or mildew. Air infiltrating from outside can create comfort-robbing cold or warm spots while increasing heating and cooling costs.
DuPont™ Tyvek® acts like a windbreaker and wrapped over the sheathing and under the exterior siding—cut out around windows and doors and taped securely at the seams—resists air infiltration and water intrusion and makes for a more comfortable, energy-efficient home or building.
Whether you’re building new, renovating or re-siding, ask your construction professional or your home improvement retailer for Tyvek® HomeWrap®, Tyvek® StuccoWrap™ , Tyvek® CommercialWrap™, Tyvek® DrainWrap™, Tyvek® AtticWrap™, DuPont™ FlexWrap™, DuPont™ StraightFlash™, DuPont™ StraightFlash™ VF, Tyvek® Wrap Caps, and other miracles of science in the DuPont™ Tyvek® family of products.
