This DuPont Tyvek Supro membrane is a durable material reinforced with laminated nonwoven polypropylene. Vapour-permeable yet airtight, this membrane is incredibly water resistant and can be used for all unsupported and supported pitched roofs.
Saving costs and time in the construction process, this Tyvek Supro membrane does not require any tile, soffit or ridge ventilation. It is suitable for a large variety of applications including cold, hybrid and warm roofs as well as floor and wall applications, low-pitched metal roofs and Scottish sarking board systems.
Designed to withstand prolonged UV radiation exposure and high temperatures for up to four months, this membrane comes with full IAB and BBA approval for use in all pitched roof installations.
Please note:
Question:
When i order 2 is this 2 metres by 1 metre? I need to order 1 metre width by 2 metres in length.
Answer:
Yes, when you order a quantity of 2 of the DuPont Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane, you will receive a piece that is 1 metre wide and 2 metres long. This product is cut to size per metre length, so if you need a 2 metre length, you should order a quantity of 2.
Question:
Can this product be used to act as a membrane to insulate a summer house which will then be wood cladded?
Answer:
The DuPont Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane is definitely suitable for use as a breather membrane behind wood cladding on a timber-framed summer house. However, it's important to note that this product isn't intended to provide insulation. It's primary function is to act as a weather-resistant layer that allows moisture vapour to escape, thereby protecting the structure of your summer house. You might still need to consider adding insulation to your summer house for temperature control.
Question:
Is this product none combustible?
Answer:
The DuPont Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane is not classified as non-combustible. According to the technical data sheet from DuPont, the Tyvek Supro has a 'Reaction to Fire' classification of Euroclass E. This indicates that the product is combustible and meets basic fire performance requirements. For reference, classifications A1 or A2 denote non-combustible or limited combustibility, while B, C, D indicate combustible with increasing fire contribution. F is for products with no determined fire performance.
Question:
is this product suitable for landscaping use to line planters and not let any water through ?
Answer:
The DuPont Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane is primarily designed for roofing applications. It is vapour permeable and air tight, meaning it allows moisture to escape, but prevents air and water from penetrating. While it prevents water ingress, it's not designed for complete water containment like you would need for a planter liner. Its primary use includes applications in floors, warm roofs, pitched roofs, cold roofs, hybrid roofs, and walls. You can find more details about its applications in this brochure. For landscaping use, especially for lining planters, I would recommend looking for a product specifically designed for that purpose. If you need further assistance finding the right product, our customer service team would be happy to help.
Question:
I'm building a new timber frame property, which has a corrugated iron sheet roof. The roof construction has 12mm plywood covering the rafters. My question is, can I lay the Tyvek over the plywood, then batten eaves to ridge and then cross batten (these battens would have the corrugated iron sheeting fixed to them) I had a feeling the Tyvek was required to drape 10mm, however if laid on the plywood, this would not be possible. I would be grateful for your views Kind regards, J. Barber
Answer:
In response to your query, you can indeed lay the DuPont Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane directly onto the 12mm plywood of your roof. There is no need for a 10mm drape in this scenario as that only applies when there is no decking. Your concept of using battens and then cross battens is correct. However, it is important to ensure that you install vertical counter battens first, followed by horizontal battens for the corrugated iron sheets. Proper ventilation and drainage detailing also need to be taken into consideration.
Question:
Hi , do overlaps need to be taped on a pitched roof, I'm planning a 30cm overlap on each subsequent strip as I move up the roof?
Answer:
All overlaps should be taped
Question:
Hi Is it £2.12 per metre?
Answer:
That's correct
Question:
Can this be used as a breathable membrane for timber framed walls
Answer:
Yes
Question:
Can this product be applied to wet ply sheets? Will the ply underneath dry out?
Answer:
This is just an underfelt for use in tile/batten installations under tiles so would not really be suitable. We would advise to let any ply dry out before overlaying with anything.
