About this product…
Tyvek® DrainWrap by DuPont is a building wrap specifically designed to provide enhanced drainage in areas subject to extreme, wind-driven rain. Tyvek®’s DrainWrap is a moisture barrier that combines the superior air and water resistance, vapor permeability, and strength of Tyvek® with a vertically grooved surface to help channel water safely to the outside.
Tyvek®’s DrainWrap is designed to withstand the rigors of job sites with extreme weather conditions, proving its durability and strength. Compared to other textured moisture barriers, Tyvek® DrainWrap provides superior sustained performance in tests where bulk water was applied between a flat acrylic panel and the moisture barrier.
As well, this product aids in energy conservation and building integrity. The unique non-woven fiber structure of Tyvek® 's DrainWrap prevents air movement through the walls, contributing to a more energy efficient home. Further, by effectively sealing the building envelope, DrainWrap helps to reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool the structure. The DrainWrap may be eligible towards LEED points in the areas of Energy and Atmosphere.
This material provides enhanced drainage behind claddings applied over flat substrates; primed wood (all six sides), fiber cement siding, and foam board.
Lightweight, pliable, easier to handle and faster to install, Tyvek® DrainWrap is accessible to anyone from contractors to at home DIY-ers! Wrapping around corners with ease, DrainWraps flexibility allows it to easily interface at joints and unique architectural elements.
There are two different sizes to choose from – 9’ x 125’, or 10’ x 125’.
Tyvek® DrainWrap can be integrated with DuPont self-adhered flashing products and Tyvek®Fluid Applied products to offer seamless protection for wall systems that require mechanically fastened and fluid applied air and water barriers.
