Wrapping a home with Tyvek® is like putting
a windbreaker (Tyvek®) over a sweater (your
home's insulation). You'll be cold wearing only a
sweater on a windy day, but adding a windbreaker
keeps you warmer.
An average 2500 square-foot home has more than
1/2 mile of cracks and crevices in the wall cavity.
That's a lot of opportunity for air and water to
get inside your home. With an average 8 mph wind, your home could lose up to 30%
installed R-value.
