Tyvek HomeWrap™ and Enercor™ Radiant Barrier

All it takes is 45 minutes and you'll know why Tyvek HomeWrap is a better way to go whenever you insulate walls with batts. Because in just 45 minutes, 2 tradesmen using Tyvek HomeWrap can cover an average 12 Square houses.

New 30 metre roll

Tyvek HomeWrap is now available in convenient 30m rolls. And you can choose from 2743mm or 3048mm widths so you can cover from fall to ceiling in one pass. You can also go right over windows and door openings, leaving them protected until you come back later.

And it's light. Yet it's super tough, and cuts clean and easy with a sharp knife.

Guaranteed to weather the storm

Tyvek HomeWrap is water resistant and so strong it's guaranteed against winds up to 120kph or we'll replace it free.* So once you wrap a house in Tyvek HomeWrap, you have a weatherproof barrier. Yet it allows enough light through to continue working on interior jobs.

Plan the job around your priorities, not the brickies

The weatherproof strength of Tyvek HomeWrap means you can leave the job (even if the brickies aren't due for weeks) and get on to other jobs at other sites. Which adds up to more control over your time - and more cash.

It breathes - so batts work better and walls stay drier

The strength and breathability of Tyvek HomeWrap make it an ideal material when you're insulating with wall batts. Tyvek not only keeps the batts in place but also dry during construction. Then because Tyvek "breathes", it reduces the risk of moisture build up due to condensation. As a result, batts stay dry and retain their insulation efficiency.

Australian Standards

Tyvek HomeWrap meets all the necessary BCA and Australian Standards for flammability (AS 1530.2 less than 5). Tyvek HomeWrap has a flammability level of three.

Proven Performance

Tyvek products have been used extensively in the USA, Japan and Europe for up to 10 years. And the DuPont manufacturing plant is ISO 9000 accredited - your guarantee of consistent high quality.

R Rating

A rating of approximately R 0.7 is achieved when HomeWrap is used in a brick veneer type construction. In Victoria, Tyvek HomeWrap must be used in conjunction with wall batts to meet the minimum 'R' rating* requirements.

*All weather guarantee!
