Tyvek® HomeWrap® is
a weatherization membrane that provides a protective layer under
a home’s siding and over the sheathing. It is literally wrapped
around a
home over the wood or foam sheathing, cut out around windows and doors and taped
at the seams.
The unique, nonwoven-fiber structure of Tyvek® HomeWrap® resists
air
infiltration and water intrusion, yet is engineered to readily allow moisture
vapor
to diffuse through the sheet, helping prevent mold and mildew buildup and wood
rot. The fibrous structure is engineered with microscopic pores that readily
allow
moisture vapor to evaporate but are so small that bulk water and air cannot penetrate.
Siding, whether it’s vinyl, wood, stucco, brick, or composite, does not
completely prevent air and water penetration. Tyvek® is designed as a secondary
defense to help manage a home’s wall systems.
