Get your house covered.
And let it breathe
The protection of the insulation and wall structure from external weather conditions and the negative effects
of condensation are essential. In timber frame wall constructions for instance, a breather membrane must be
‘vapour-open’ so as to allow water vapour to pass through to outside atmosphere whilst at the same time be
water resistant.
Timber Frame Construction is one of the leading construction methods in Europe. Because of its architectural
diversity, light weight structure, interior comfort and speed of construction, Timber Frame Construction is
becoming more and more popular.
Furthermore Tyvek membranes offer protection against wind washing and improve energy efficiency and
®
comfort.
