Effective June 1, 2019, DuPont Performance Building Solutions will reinforce the trusted performance of TYVEK Commercial products in combination with the durable thermal properties of STYROFOAM and THERMAX through the new DuPont Commercial Wall² Ten Year Product and Labor Warranty. For qualifying projects installed using DuPont Tyvek CommercialWrap products or Tyvek Fluid Applied WB+, in combination either with STYROFOAM Brand Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) or THERMAX Brand Rigid Insulation on the above grade wall, the building will be protected through the “power of two” DuPont Commercial Wall² warranty. The new DuPont Commercial Wall² Product and Labor Warranty will include:
● Water Hold-Out
● Air Hold-Out
● U.V. Exposure (before cladding installation) and
● Up to 50 years thermal[1]
DuPont’s portfolio of solutions is designed for robust, durable product performance combined with easy, fast installation for labor savings. Our scientists and engineers recognize that durable communities rely on advanced material science with simple, reproducible installation that can be trusted time after time.
“At DuPont, we test our products and assemblies significantly above and beyond the building code requirements to develop rigorous installation details and guides that support our warranty,” said Tom Evans, Americas Commercial Director, DuPont Performance Building Solutions. “This unique combined system warranty supports our company’s strong leadership position in innovations, performance and reliability.
