FEATURES/BENEFITS

Description

DuPont

™

Tyvek

HomeWrap

is the original house wrap,

incorporating unique material science that helps keep air

and water out, while letting water vapor escape. As a result,

it can contribute to improved building durability by helping

to protect homes against damaging wind and rain that can

penetrate the exterior cladding.

Tyvek

HomeWrap

can also reduce home energy bills

by controlling air ﬂow and water intrusion, which helps

insulation work better, allowing the HVAC system to work

more efﬁciently. It’s a house wrap engineered to keep homes

cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and dry all year round.

Available Sizes

Tyvek

HomeWrap

is available in 9- and 10-foot width rolls for

use behind a variety of claddings. This width minimizes seams

and offers the potential for reduction in labor costs, compared

to narrower rolls.

Air and Water Barrier Performance

The unique nonwoven structure of Tyvek

HomeWrap

makes it

breathable, allowing moisture vapor to pass through. This helps

promote drying in wall systems, to help prevent mold and water

damage. In addition, Tyvek

HomeWrap

stops air movement

through the walls, helping insulation perform closer to its full

R-value, to provide a more energy-efﬁcient home.

Ease of Installation

Tyvek

HomeWrap

is easy to install. It is pliable, so it wraps

around corners with ease. It is also light weight, easier to handle,

and faster to install than the average house wrap. In addition,

because it’s ﬂexible, Tyvek

HomeWrap

easily interfaces at joints,

and over architectural elements.
