How insulation WorksTrapped air is an excellent insulator. As long as the air is NOT MOVING. The double pane windows in your home or a Thermos® bottle are two good examples of how trapped air acts as an insulator to keep what's inside warm or cold. Wall insulation works the same way. As long as the air inside the insulation stays still and dry, the insulation works to its rated R-value. The result is a comfortable home. But, an average 2,500 square foot home has more than 1/2 mile of cracks and crevices in the wall cavity and if the wind blows even a little (and it blows, on average, 8 mph across the US), air is forced into your home. Your heater or air conditioner will run more often to keep you comfortable, resulting in higher energy bills. |

How Tyvek® HomeWrap™ works For over 20 years, DuPont Tyvek® has made over 2 million homes more energy efficient and more comfortable. Tyvek® reduces the movement of air into your home and also helps keep water (from driving rain, for example) out of your walls. Tyvek® HomeWrap™ can breathe, too (like Gore-Tex® clothing). That means that, if moisture does get inside your walls, Tyvek® lets it pass through to the outside helping to keep air and water out; letting moisture vapor pass through- it's the perfect way to keep you comfortable year round. |
