Behind stucco facades and EIFS systems: Tyvek StuccoWrap is ideal for use behind stucco facades and EIFS systems due to its textured surface, which creates an effective drainage plane. This design allows moisture and water to drain away efficiently, preventing water build-up that can lead to mould, cracking, or structural damage. Its breathable nature lets moisture vapour escape while blocking external moisture, ensuring long-term protection. Additionally, Tyvek StuccoWrap helps maintain the integrity of the facade and underlying structure by reducing moisture-related issues, making it a reliable solution for these types of exterior systems.

What is Tyvek StuccoWrap?

Tyvek StuccoWrap is a specially designed weather-resistant barrier used for stucco or stone veneer applications. It offers superior drainage capabilities to protect the building envelope from moisture while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

What makes Tyvek StuccoWrap different from Tyvek HomeWrap?

Tyvek StuccoWrap has a textured surface that creates a gap between the wrap and stucco or stone veneer, promoting better drainage and moisture management. Tyvek HomeWrap is a general-purpose barrier, whereas StuccoWrap is specifically engineered for systems like stucco that are prone to moisture retention.

How is Tyvek StuccoWrap installed?

Tyvek StuccoWrap is installed over the sheathing, with the textured side facing outwards. It is secured with fasteners such as staples or nails, and seams should be sealed with Tyvek Tape to ensure a continuous moisture barrier. Stucco or stone veneer is then applied over a metal lath and scratch coat.

What are the key benefits of using Tyvek StuccoWrap?

Tyvek StuccoWrap offers enhanced moisture drainage due to its unique textured surface, which prevents water accumulation behind stucco or stone cladding. It also helps to reduce cracking in stucco finishes by providing a breathable barrier that reduces moisture build-up.

How does Tyvek StuccoWrap improve water management in stucco applications?

The textured surface of Tyvek StuccoWrap creates a drainage plane, allowing any water that penetrates the stucco or stone to drain away, protecting the building envelope from moisture-related damage.
