VIDEO: VYCOR® enV-S Saves Alaskan Family $1,000 a Year in Home Heating Costs
In this video, Ana White and her husband install VYCOR® enV-S™ weather-resistive barrier on the exterior of their forever home in Alaska.
Contrary to traditional housewraps, the VYCOR® requires no mechanical fasteners; it's self-adhered with a peel-away film for a flush bond with the wall substrate. Furthermore, VYCOR® enV-S™ seals around fasteners during subsequent siding installation for an air-tight home.
Despite extreme weather and winds reaching upwards of 70 mph during the installation process, the VYCOR® enV-S™ self-adhered, weather-resistive barrier withstood Mother Nature's test, remaining perfectly intact on the exterior of the White's house walls.
The VYCOR® enV-S™ will also save the Whites up to $1,000 per year in home heating costs, even through the coldest, most bitter Alaskan winters.
