Benefits:
Sealed attic systems reduce air leakage and energy loss through the roof and improve insulation performance while also protecting against damaging moisture build-up within the conditioned space.
Vapor-permeable, breathable membranes used in sealed attic systems:
- Reduce heating and cooling costs
- Allow vapor to pass through to avoid condensation
- Act as a secondary weather barrier, providing water resistance to protect the attic interior in case of roof leaks
- Reduce the possibility of ice damming
DuPont™ Tyvek® AtticWrap™:
- Has a perm rate in the high 20's, well above the minimum required
- Uses a metalized layer on the back side, which creates a low emmissivity (low-e) surface to save energy by reflecting radiant heat
- Has undergone extensive testing; data shows an average 10% heating and cooling energy savings
