Tyvek Building Envelopes
A high-performance building envelope is essential in Vancouver’s wet and windy climate, and Tyvek weather barriers are one of the most trusted solutions in the industry. At Silver Siding, we supply and install Tyvek building envelope systems for residential, commercial, and strata properties across Metro Vancouver and surrounding areas.
Whether it’s new construction, exterior renovation, recladding, or building envelope remediation, Tyvek delivers long-term air sealing, moisture defense, and energy efficiency.
What Is a Tyvek Building Envelope?
A Tyvek building envelope is a specialized weather-resistant barrier installed beneath siding and exterior cladding. It protects the structure from water intrusion while allowing moisture vapor to escape — preventing hidden damage.
Advanced moisture resistance
Breathable membrane technology
Air sealing and draft reduction
Mold and rot prevention
Energy performance support
Compatibility with all siding types
Tyvek wraps are engineered to extend the life of siding and prevent structural decay.
The Lower Mainland faces heavy rainfall, humidity, and constant temperature changes. Without a quality weather barrier, water penetrates behind siding and damages framing, insulation, and interior walls.
Mold growth
Structural rot
Interior leaks
Drafts and energy loss
Envelope failure
Cladding deterioration
Proper installation ensures lasting protection in high-moisture environments like Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, North Shore, and beyond.
Why Choose Dupont Tyvek Products?
Our Tyvek line of building envelope solutions is unique. Unlike perforated wraps, where there is a tradeoff between air and water resistance versus vapor permeability, Tyvek air barriers are made of a continuous, non-woven, non-perforated sheet. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibers of Tyvek wraps are not fused together. This creates a fibrous structure with a multitude of tiny pores that are extremely effective at holding out air and water, while still allowing for the passage of moisture vapor. This design far outperforms competing products, with:
Eco System Process
Tyvek house wrap is a breathable, non-woven structure that stands out from other types of house wraps. Tyvek insulation wrap can enhance your building’s durability by protecting your home against damaging winds and rains. The wrap has unique properties that enable it to keep water and air out and allow water vapour to escape. It’s a house wrap engineered to keep your property warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and dry at all times.
Tyvek insulation wrap is highly permeable to water vapour. This helps to enhance the airtightness of a building. The wrap has a unique non-woven structure that allows water vapour to escape.
Because Tyvek house wrap is lightweight and flexible, it’s easy to install, helping many property owners make significant savings on installation costs.
The house wrap has long-term reliability. You can leave it uncovered for up to four months while retaining its performance.
The house wrap also controls water intrusion and airflow. This crucial property will keep your home cool during summer and warm during winter. This, in turn, will reduce your home energy bills.
Especially among builders who are determined to create perfect custom homes, Tyvek home wrap ousters other house wrapping materials. Tyvek isn’t an average house wrap; it uses unique technology to produce better material.
Unlike other wrapping materials, Tyvek allows moisture from inside the home to escape but doesn’t allow moisture from outside to get in. Even if other house wraps offer certain degrees of protection, none can outdo the Tyvek insulation wrap.
