DuPont™ Tyvek® Timberframe Solutions consists of the appropriate DuPont™ Tyvek® breather membrane for each specific application, in partnership with the most suitable air & vapour control layer from DuPont, enabling the installation of integrated weather barriers and accessories, together with optimal production and service processes. With this advanced system, DuPont offers a flexible choice, including different sizes of membrane to reduce waste and support more efficient working practices.
Installed to the exterior of the envelope, the ability of DuPont™ Tyvek® breather membranes to perform for the long term, to protect the structure and the insulation and to enhance thermal performance has been proven both in practice and through rigorous independent testing. The range of carefully and scientifically developed products delivers impressive protection against the elements, offers superior levels of UV & heat resistance, together with excellent service and renowned reliability. Furthermore this advanced system can be tailored to specific production needs and the membrane’s inherent strength and high resistance to wear and tear enables the production of membranes that are both light weight yet robust, and worry-free to install. Applied to the interior of the envelope to protect both the structure and insulation DuPont™ AirGuard® air & vapour control layers (AVCLs), enhance the moisture management and airtightness of timber frame buildings, helping to meet the increasingly tougher requirements of today’s regulations and contributing to energy efficiency and occupier comfort.
DuPont™ Tyvek® Timberframe Solutions provides building industry professionals with effective condensation control and airtightness for all types of construction, while also helping to reduce uncontrolled leakage through the building envelope by making it both airtight and watertight. The result is a significant contribution to the thermal performance of the building, helping to achieve environmental goals set by the EU directive and local building codes.
