MyFixitUpLife is taking you on an Extreme Makeover: The International Builders’ Show edition with senior producer Diane Korman inside the world of DuPont.
We’ll be talking hot new design app, fresh colors, and locking down on smart weatherization to keep your family snug through every season.
Mark & Theresa talk weatherization w/ Alan Hubbell from DuPont. “Whether you’re remodeling or building new construction, you want to manage air and water very effectively,” says Alan. Using the water barriers and the flashing systems, you’ll be able to keep them out of your house.
Moisture always finds a way into any building, and DuPont’s Tyvek allows that moisture to breath out of the house and escape into the environment.
DuPont breaks down the needs of homeowners regionally across the country, so you should contact a Tyvek specialist through the online specialist locator. They have more than 100 around the country ready to help answer your questions.
Mark & Theresa also talked about enjoying demos by Mike Guertin, Mark LaLiberte, and Carl Hagstrum that they were sharing with the attendees inside the world of DuPont at the International Builders’ Show.
