Question:
I want to wrap my timber framed garage. It will be an OSB finish. Is this the correct product and does it require battens first then the wrap then battens again before final finish
Answer:
Yes, the DuPont Tyvek UV Facade Protective Membrane would be a suitable product for your timber-framed garage with an external OSB sheathing layer. It's specifically designed for use behind open-jointed claddings and it's vapour permeable. The typical wall build-up would be as follows: 1. Timber frame 2. OSB sheathing 3. DuPont Tyvek UV Facade membrane 4. Vertical cavity battens (typically 25 mm minimum) 5. Horizontal support battens (if required for your cladding orientation) 6. Final rainscreen finish So in most cases, you do not need battens behind the membrane. The membrane is generally installed directly onto the OSB, taped at the joints, and then the ventilation cavity is created by battens installed over the membrane.
