However, there can sometimes be some confusion as to how and where they should be applied, installed and optimised. The kind of question our technical department often hear: Are they BBA certified? Do I need to ventilate the roof and do they comply with Building Regulations? Are counter battens required? Are they BS5534:2014 compliant and do they offer unrestricted use? Do I need taped laps? How long do they last? What about air & vapour control layers? These are all reasonable questions, but also easily answered, especially with a CPD service accredited presentation from DuPont. DuPont Tyvek® and AirGuard® CPD service accredited CPD modules include:

DuPont Tyvek® - Proven performance and reliability
The DuPont Tyvek® family of advanced building membranes are distinctive in several key ways that make them ideal for today¹s construction projects. All the crucial requirements for a high-performance breather membrane are embodied in DuPont Tyvek® which is unique in the market because of its high-quality single layer construction. DuPont Tyvek® is naturally vapour open but also wind and water-tight due to its composition of millions of micro fibres bonded together to make a "maze" that's impermeable to air and moisture but allows water vapour to pass through its natural pores. Lightweight yet robust, DuPont Tyvek® is easy to install to exterior walls and roofs and offers long term proven reliability and durability. Designed to protect the building envelope against the effects of weather and moisture, the membranes also offer optimal air-tightness and can help to improve the thermal performance, energy-efficiency and interior climatic stability and comfort of a building.
