Homebuilders today are faced with a number of new challenges. Increased
demand for energy eciency, stricter air leakage requirements, and the
rising costs of installation, make the choice of the right weather protection
system challenging. Grace’s Vycor
®
enV-S™ self-adhered weather resistive
barrier makes that decision easier. Vycor
®
enV-S™ improves the home's
energy eciency and provides premium weather protection and breathability
that preserves the home's structural integrity.Unlike mechanically-attached
housewraps, Vycor
®
enV-S™ remains adhered to the substrate when
exposed to harsh weather conditions. This eliminates costly reworks.
