To protect houses from damaging wind and rain:

Wind Protection: Tyvek HomeWrap acts as a robust barrier against wind, helping to prevent air infiltration that can lead to increased heating and cooling costs. By sealing gaps and cracks, it reduces the risk of wind-driven air entering the home, which contributes to maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and improving overall energy efficiency.

Rain Protection: The wrap is designed to resist water infiltration while allowing water vapour to escape from the building. This dual function prevents rain from penetrating the building envelope, thereby protecting the structure and insulation from water damage. By keeping rain out, it helps to prevent issues such as mould growth and wood rot, which can result from trapped moisture.

Durability: Tyvek HomeWrap is constructed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rain. Its durable material ensures long-term performance, maintaining its protective qualities throughout the building's lifespan.

Breathability: While providing a barrier against water ingress, Tyvek HomeWrap allows moisture vapour from within the house to escape. This breathability is crucial for preventing condensation within the walls, which could otherwise lead to moisture-related problems and compromise the structural integrity of the building.

• What is Tyvek HomeWrap? - Tyvek HomeWrap is a high-performance weather barrier designed for residential buildings. It provides effective protection against air and water infiltration while allowing moisture vapour to escape, helping to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
• How is Tyvek HomeWrap installed? - Tyvek HomeWrap is installed over the exterior sheathing of a building before the exterior cladding is applied. It is secured with staples, nails, or Tyvek Wrap Caps, and all seams and joints should be sealed with Tyvek Tape to ensure a continuous barrier.
• What are the key benefits of using Tyvek HomeWrap? - Tyvek HomeWrap offers superior protection against air leaks and water infiltration, enhancing the energy efficiency of residential buildings. Its breathable design helps prevent moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mould and mildew. Additionally, it is lightweight, easy to install, and provides long-term durability.
• How does Tyvek HomeWrap improve energy efficiency? - By creating a tight seal against air infiltration and reducing thermal bridging, Tyvek HomeWrap helps to maintain a stable indoor temperature. This leads to improved energy efficiency and potentially lower heating and cooling costs.
