Here at Roofing Superstore, we have a number of breathable roof membranes available for your latest roofing project, from Tyvek Supro breather membrane to Cromar’s breathable membrane, TLX breathable pitched roofing felt, Klober Permo and more. Large sheets of Tyvek are frequently used as housewrap to provide an air barrier between the outer cladding of a structure and the frame, insulation, etc., allowing water vapor to pass but restricting air infiltration.

They are usually white, commonly worn by mechanics, oil industry workers, painters, insulation installers, and laboratory and cleanroom workers where disposable, one-time use coverall is needed. They are also used for some light HAZMAT applications, such as asbestos and radiation work, but do not provide the protection of a full hazmat suit. Tychem is a sub-brand of Tyvek rated for a higher level of liquid protection, especially from chemicals. DuPont makes Tyvek clothing in different styles from laboratory coats and aprons to complete head-to-toe coveralls with hoods and booties. The latter was notably used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force as emergency limited CBRN gear during the Fukushima nuclear incident.

If the roof includes ridge ventilation, the breather membrane must be cut on each side of the ridge to ensure the path of ventilation is still clear. If there is no ridge ventilation, the breather membrane should go over the ridge, and overlap each side of the ridgeline by the required overlap. Roof valleys With wet verges, also known as verges that use mortar bedding as fixings, the breather roof membrane needs to lap onto the masonry by at least 50mm. When used with dry fix verges, the membrane needs to be laid so that it extends past the face of the gable. Penetrations NSW Police, Australia uses Tyvek overalls to preserve the integrity of forensic evidence at a crime scene, while also protecting "the wearer from the risk of exposure to biological substances, dirt and liquid splashes." [31]

Without a breather membrane, moisture will pass through the external roof material, then build on the insulation layer, making the insulation ineffective, or even build up within the roof space, causing damp, mould and rot. Breathable roof membranes are crucial in pitched roofing projects, as they prevent the build-up of condensation, which can lead to damp, mould and rot. They allow moisture to move out of the roof space, whilst still preventing rainwater ingress, ensuring that the roof space stays dry. Timber frame buildings need protection from external weather conditions, and also against internal moisture conditions. Timber frame permeable membranes such as Tyvek Housewrap protect the fabric of the building from rainwater penetration during construction, before external cladding is completed. Not only does timber frame permeable membrane protect the structure during construction, but also creates an airtight seal on the walls, which helps prevent heat loss. So choosing a breather membrane for walls can be ideal for those colder months. Costa Rica (solely their 20 colones bank note, Z series), [17] the Isle of Man, [18] and Haiti [19] have made banknotes from Tyvek. These banknotes are no longer in circulation and have become collectors' items. Here at Insulation Superstore we’re proud to offer a wide range of timber frame permeable breather membranes, and we’re confident that we’ll have the products you need for your latest project. Choose from brands such as Tyvek, Kingspan and NOVIA, and don’t forget you can always give us a call on 01752692206 or use the live chat if you have any questions about the best breather membrane for your latest project.

Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane 1m x 50m is flexible and extremely durable membranes with applications involving roofing underlay for pitched roof construction. The membrane helps to protect roofs against wind and water at the same time it increases energy efficiency. The membrane is reinforced with non-woven laminated polypropylene. Seals horizontal laps and increases thermal efficiency by decreasing the air infiltration. When Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane 1m x 50m is used it does not require any soffit, tile or ridge ventilation, which will speed up the construction process saving time and money. Applications of Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane 1m x 50m:- Next, lay the breather membrane parallel to the roof eaves – normally, when installing the breather membrane the printed side should face outwards. Make sure the bottom of the membrane is overlapping the eaves support tray or UV-resistant membrane by at least 150mm, but not by so much that it will still be exposed when the roof tiles are laid.

Tom Sachs used Tyvek for the outer shell of the spacesuits used in his Space Program series of artworks. [14] Tyvek ( / t aɪ ˈ v ɛ k/) is a brand of synthetic flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers. The name "Tyvek" is a registered trademark of the American multinational chemical company DuPont, which discovered and commercialized Tyvek in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 2017, the DuPont company merged with another chemical company, The Dow Chemical Company to form DowDuPont. DowDuPont currently manufactures Tyvek at the Spruance plant in Richmond, Virginia, and in Sandweiler- Contern, Luxembourg. In 2018, DowDuPont announced plans to expand the Tyvek production capacity of the Sandweiler-Contern factory.

Whether for roofing or wall applications, our breathable felt membranes ensure superior protection, energy efficiency, and durability. Seema Mody (2020-02-21). "DuPont ramps up safety suit production as coronavirus causes shortages in China". CNBC. Tyvek's properties—such as being difficult to tear but easily cut, and waterproof against liquids while allowing water vapor to penetrate—have led to it being used in a variety of applications. Tyvek is often used as housewrap, a synthetic material used to protect buildings during construction, or as personal protective equipment (PPE).

[20] Breathable roofing membrane is particularly effective in managing humidity within roofing structures. By maintaining a balanced and controlled environment, breathable roof membranes mitigate the risk of wood rot on timber frames. Furthermore, these membranes bolster energy efficiency by supporting proper ventilation and insulation effectiveness. They can be applied in both pitched and flat roofs - the seamless integration of breathable roof membranes ensures optimal air circulation, moisture regulation, and long-term structural integrity.
