What is DELTA®-VENT SA, and how does it work?
DELTA®-VENT SA is a self-adhered, vapor-permeable air and water-resistive barrier designed to protect building envelopes. It prevents moisture intrusion and air leaks while allowing trapped moisture to escape, reducing the risk of mold and improving energy efficiency.
Can DELTA®-VENT SA be used in both residential and commercial projects?
Yes, DELTA®-VENT SA is suitable for both residential and commercial wall systems. Its durability and Passive House certification make it ideal for a wide range of construction projects, from single-family homes to large commercial buildings.
What substrates are compatible with DELTA®-VENT SA?
DELTA®-VENT SA adheres to substrates like concrete, masonry, OSB, plywood, and exterior-grade drywall. For optimal adhesion, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris, and use DELTA® Primer LVC if needed.
How does DELTA®-VENT SA contribute to energy efficiency?
By creating an airtight and watertight barrier, DELTA®-VENT SA prevents uncontrolled air movement, reducing energy loss. Its vapor permeability also ensures moisture management, contributing to a healthier and more energy-efficient building.
Is DELTA®-VENT SA easy to install for DIY homeowners?
While DELTA®-VENT SA is designed for easy installation with its self-adhered feature, professional installation is recommended for optimal performance, especially for large or complex projects. Homeowners should follow the installation guide and consult professionals if needed.
What makes DELTA®-VENT SA different from other house wraps?
Unlike traditional house wraps, DELTA®-VENT SA is self-adhered, eliminating the need for fasteners, which reduces leak risks. Its high vapor permeability and robust 3-layer construction set it apart, ensuring superior moisture management and durability.
