Before you build or remodel, ask yourself a few questions. Have you ever sat bundled in front of your TV set watching wind howl through your den in winter? Ever wondered why all that moisture is on the inside of your windows, not outside? Do you remember shouting as you opened your monthly heating bill: "Honey! Have we been heating the outdoors again this winter? Did you ever find yourself on your hands and knees sniffing around for that moldy, mildewy smell in your living room? Do you complain to your spouse: If our air conditioning is working, why do I feel like a clam?
If you answered yes to any of these, check out why DuPont™ Tyvek® Weatherization Systems products could be the easiest, simplest step to building more comfort into your new home or addition. Wrapping a home with DuPont™ Tyvek® is like putting a windbreaker (DuPont™ Tyvek®) over a sweater (your home’s insulation). You’ll be cold wearing only a sweater on a windy day, but adding a windbreaker keeps you warmer.
An average 2500 square-foot home has more than 1/2 mile of cracks and crevices in the wall cavity. That’s a lot of opportunity for air and water to get inside your home. With an average 8 mph wind, your home could lose up to 30% installed R-value.
