For metal roofing systems, DuPont™ Tyvek® and DuPont™ AirGuard® offer a suite of products, designed to control condensation and mitigate heat build-up.
Metal roofs are durable yet vulnerable to condensation beneath the surface. Their high vapour resistance requires effective moisture management and careful design to control condensation.
Addressing METAL ROOFING risks with Tyvek® Supro / Supro Plus and Tyvek® Metal
Tyvek® Supro and Supro Plus are essential in metal roofing for managing condensation and moisture control. Tyvek® Supro Plus improves wind resistance and airtightness, while Tyvek® Metal, in addition, facilitates drainage and reduces sound transmission from rain. All Tyvek® products offer Class W1 water resistance and high strength, effectively safeguarding against potential water damage.
Using Tyvek® products benefits stakeholders:
Addressing METAL ROOFING risks with AirGuard® Products
In metal roofing, the AirGuard® range is crucial for moisture control and thermal performance. AirGuard® Control acts as a high-performance Air and Vapour Control Layer (AVCL), preventing moisture ingress from the interior and allowing safe moisture escape, reducing condensation risk. AirGuard® Reflective, in addition, enhances thermal efficiency by reflecting heat back into the building, addressing potential energy loss.
Incorporating AirGuard® improves energy efficiency and moisture management:
Tyvek® Breather Membranes: Supro/Supro Plus
Tyvek® Supro is the market-leading breather membrane and is a water-resistant membrane suitable for all supported and unsupported pitched roof applications in commercial and residential buildings.
Tyvek® and AirGuard® sealing tapes and accessories are specifically designed to complement Tyvek® breather membranes and AirGuard® air and vapour control membranes. They help to seal the building envelope, offering optimal airtightness, energy efficiency, long-term performance and durability.
An AirGuard® vapour control layer can significantly reduce heat loss and increase energy efficiency. By controlling heat transfer and reflecting heat inside the building, they help keep buildings cool in summer, and warm in winter.
