Technical Notes
Tyvek HomeWrap serves as the weather-resistant barrier (WRB) in the wall assembly:
- Blocks bulk water infiltration
- Allows water vapor to escape from wall cavity
- Provides air barrier when properly sealed
- Protects sheathing during construction before siding
The wrap is currently exposed awaiting siding installation, which is scheduled to resume after the Christmas break.
