has an optimal balance of properties for superior performance against the elements and as compared to competing products. When using Tyvek®HomeWrap® you can be assured you are using the brand leader in weather resistant barriers.
A weather resistant barrier is a building's main protection against the damaging effects of the elements. A functioning barrier must include four basic properties:
It must have a high level of AIR RESISTANCE - to help prevent drafts, reduce energy bills and resist the flow of moisture laden air through wall cavities.
It must have a high level of WATER RESISTANCE - to help protect the wall cavity from water that gets behind the cladding.
It must have moderate to high VAPOUR PERMEABILITY - to promote drying in wall systems.
It must be DURABLE - to withstand the rigors of the construction site and continue to perform once construction is completed.
