Description

DuPont Weatherization Systems are an important part of the ENERGY STAR Home Sealing labeling program and NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines. According to ENERGY STAR(R), sealing the building envelope is one of the most cost-effective ways to lower the homes utility bills and improve comfort." With DuPont(TM) Tyvek(R) StuccoWrap, you get not only the most advanced weather-resistant protection available, you also get the peace of mind that comes from working with DuPont and ENERGY STAR. When installed behind stucco facades, DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap helps reduce the susceptibility to cracking of the scratch-coat and can help promote a stronger stucco facade. DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap has an engineered grooved surface that can help better manage water when installed as part of a 2-layer system with flashing that directs water between the layers. The breathable structure allows moisture vapor to pass through which helps to promote drying in wall systems which can aid in preventing the growth of mold and mildew. The unique non-woven fiber structure of DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap helps reduce air leakage providing a more energy efficient home.

When installed as an air infiltration barrier, DuPont Tyvek may help contribute towards U.S. Green Building Councils LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points and may help the home owner to qualify for an energy tax credit.

The performance of DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap exceeds the 2006 International Building Code (section 1403.2) and the 2006 International Residential code (Section R703.1) as a water-resistive barrier and meets the air barrier requirements of ICC-ES AC-38 and the ASTM E1677 Standard Specification for a Type I air barrier. DuPont Tyvek StuccoWrap comes backed by a 10-year limited warranty from DuPont, a company dedicated to providing you with innovative and reliable products for over 200 years. Our DuPont Certified Installer Program also provides trained installation services, which is one more way to put the building science expertise of DuPont right at your fingertips.
