If you're looking for a breather membrane that will stand up to the elements and keep your project protected, Dupont Tyvek Housewrap is the way to go. DuPont Tyvek Housewrap offers excellent protection against external weather conditions, making it ideal for use in concrete wall, steel frame and timber frame wall systems. 

Tyvek Housewrap is made of high-density polyethylene fibres for long-term durable protection against the elements; both wind-tight and water resistant, this lightweight breathable membrane is specifically designed to control the movement of heat, air and moisture through the building envelope of new build, refurbishment or extension projects. 

The membrane should be surface-applied and fixed directly to the sheathing ply/OSB, insulation or blockwork.

Benefits of Using A Breather Membrane

A breathable membrane allows a structure to release surplus moisture vapour into the air. This ensures that the building remains secure and dry.

Another great benefit of using a breather membrane is that it can help to reduce condensation. If you live in an area with high humidity, this can be a real problem. 

By keeping the air inside your property at a consistent temperature, you can help to prevent condensation from forming on your walls and ceilings. This can save you a lot of money in the long run, as it can help to prevent mould and mildew from developing.

Tyvek Housewrap Performance

By preventing air and water from entering your walls, DuPont HouseWrap helps to optimise your property's stability while also reducing energy bills.

In particular, it makes the building cooler during the summer months and warmer in winter by cutting down heat loss.
