acctuall that is a very interesting question because yes they are made up moast of the same thing but there is something else added to tyvek groundcloths. its the fibers from carpets and also dried hardend donky poo shredded. hope this answers your question
If you are talking about a fiber cement backer board, the manufacturer of the board should provide the answer you are after. I am currently using Hardiplank to reside my house, and the manufacturer recommends attacheing the TyVek house wrap to the wood sheathing per TyVeks recommended process. Hope this helps.
I assume you mean Tyvek housewrap. Tyvek is used as a vapor barrier to keep water and moisture from penetrating walls of a structure. It also helps prevent drafts but at the same time allows the house or structure to breathe. Tyvek is put on walls during construction after the sheathing. This could be plywood or a foam sheathing. It also helps keep the structure or house dry until the exterior finish is applied. Mike Merisko www.sawkerfs.com
It is an additional layer to prevent wind and moisture infiltration. Lately, you see more and more new construction is shifting towards using Tyvek(R) Housewrap.
Shrink wrap was invented by your mom
No. Bubble wrap will not breath or last the life of the home.

Tyvek HomeWrap can be purchased from many different hardware and home improvement centers such as Home Depot and Lowes as well as online stores such as Amazon.
Tyvek House Wrap, according to it's creator, DuPont, provides superior performance against the elements. The wrap prevents water from penetrating the outside walls, and seals the house to keep outside air out. This will keep energy bills lower, because the home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Tyvek was created in 1955.
Tyvek® is the DuPont brand name for spunbonded olefin, which was invented around 1955. There are specific instructions for how Tyvek should be installed to get maximum protection from both moisture and air flow mitigation. I would make sure you or your contractors follow these procedures and use supporting materials that meet Dupont's specifications. Specifically, a special tape must be used to secure two adjoining Tyvek sheets. Some contractors will use a lower quality tape in an effort to save money. The sub par tape breaks down over a few years and allows air to flow between the overlapping Tyvek sheets, greatly reducing their effectiveness.
Yes, Tyvek or a similar weather-resistant barrier is still necessary even when siding with brick and stone in Texas. It helps protect the structure from moisture and air infiltration, contributing to energy efficiency and preventing water damage. It serves as an additional layer of defense against the elements and is recommended for long-term durability.

No. You need to let the house breathe.
Disposable lab coats are generally made of Tyvek and Microporous films.
Tyvek is not designed for this purpose and would be too expensive for such a use. Instead tyvek is a chemical resistant material used in laboratory tubing and equipment. It almost perfect for use with corrosive chemicals of all types.
