All-in-one membrane insulation solutions
DuPont™ Climate Systems has been created using low emissivity membrane technologies, which reflect radiant heat and effectively manage moisture levels. The result is an internal climate that maintains comfort levels all year round, ensuring a dry, warm and draught-proof environment: no longer at the mercy of the seasons or the elements.
A complementary system of new components
The component products work together as a complete system, providing a building envelope membrane solution that covers an entire house, boosting existing insulation, making the building airtight, whilst enabling it to fully 'breathe'. Incorporating the newly developed Tyvek® Enercor® Roof, Tyvek® Enercor® Wall, and DuPont™ AirGuard®, the system represents a breakthrough in home climate performance.
Boosting insulation performance and retaining/reflecting heat
A key innovation is the metallised surface of Tyvek® Enercor® Roof and Tyvek® Enercor® Wall. This is placed on the cold side of traditional insulation with innovative reflective VCL, DuPont™ AirGuard®, on the warm side.
Consequently:
- The metallised side improves insulation performance of the air layer between Tyvek® Enercor® and the insulating material by 200-300%.
- The insulating material performance is vastly improved by blocking air infiltration.
- The low emissivity of the system reflects heat back inside the building during winter and keeps the building cool during the summer: 85% of the heat is radiated by the sun.
- Dirt cannot build up on the metallised surface of Tyvek® Enercor® Roof due to its unique '‘face-down' installation method.
