Weather Barriers & Tyvek® Installation in Halifax NS
Protect your home from moisture, drafts, and damage with a breathable, water-resistant shield.
At Elevation Siding Halifax, we install Tyvek® weather barriers (WRB) that keep your home dry, efficient, and protected year-round. This breathable layer blocks wind and rain while letting trapped moisture escape—preventing rot, mold, and costly repairs over time.
What Is a Weather Barrier?
A weather-resistant barrier (WRB) is a protective layer installed beneath your siding that prevents water and air from penetrating the walls. It’s required by the National Building Code of Canada and helps extend the life of your home by reducing drafts and moisture buildup.
Why Use Tyvek® HomeWrap®
Water-resistant: Keeps rain and moisture out of wall cavities.
Breathable: Allows interior vapor to escape, preventing trapped moisture.
Air-tight: Reduces drafts and improves insulation efficiency.
Durable: Tear-resistant and built to withstand Halifax’s harsh coastal weather.
Important to Know
Tyvek® is not a waterproofing or insulation system—it works with proper flashing and insulation to create a complete, high-performance exterior envelope. Correct installation and sealing are key to getting its full benefits.
