When it comes to keeping your home well insulated, it’s hard to beat DuPont. And now DuPont has a new product that has some great properties: Tyvek Thermawrap in Lehi may well change how people think about protecting their homes. What is Tyvek Thermawrap? It is DuPont’s second product carrying the Thermawrap name, but it is a completely new product these days. Tyvek Thermawrap is DuPont’s patented Tyvek bonded to fluffy, polyester and polyolefin insulation, and it will act as a weather barrier, also providing insulation up to an R-value of R5. Read on for more information about how this will help your home.
Tyvek Thermawrap in Lehi
Anyone who knows weather barriers knows that you want something that allows water vapor to leave your home, but not enter. That’s where Tyvek comes in, and now Tyvek Thermawrap in Lehi takes that a step further, adding insulation to its famous weather barrier. What does the extra insulation provide? An R-value of R5, meaning that now the weather barrier between your siding and your home’s walls will not just prevent wind and water from entering your home, it will also protect that air conditioned or heated interior from the temperatures outside.
Tyvek Thermawrap in Lehi has the advantage of keeping moisture where it belongs. You may be wondering how it can do that, considering it isn’t just the famous Tyvek, but now has insulation as well. Here’s how it works: if water ever gets past the Tyvek into the insulation fibers, the water will drain because it isn’t fiberglass insulation, but that polyester/polyolefin blend, and that blend is designed to drain, not retain, moisture.
This feature of Tyvek Thermawrap in Lehi allows moisture to leave your walls, regardless of how it enters. So remember, when you are looking for the best way to protect your home, keep the interior a constant temperature, and provide the longest life for your walls, think Tyvek.
