Tyvek®/Pella® Installation Partnership

Protecting your new home from water and air leakage is a priority. That is why Korndoerfer Homes partners with Dupont ™ Tyvek ^® and Pella ^® Windows and Doors of Wisconsin. We all work together to protect your new home while providing a premier limited 10-year installation warranty that is unrivaled in the marketplace.

Korndoerfer Homes uses a Tyvek/Pella Window and Home Wrap System that is engineered to keep moisture out and cool or warm air in. The non-woven structure makes Tyvek^® HomeWrap^® breathable, allowing moisture vapor to pass through. This helps promote drying in wall systems, to prevent mold and water damage. Tyvek HomeWrap also stops air movement through the walls, helping insulation perform closer to its full R-Value, providing a more energy-efficient home.

Each Korndoerfer home is wrapped in Tyvek HomeWrap by certified installers. After the Tyvek is installed, Pella certified installers use Dupont™ FlexWrap™ when installing the windows. The Dupont FlexWrap protects the windowsill by using one continuous piece of flashing that goes up the sides of the window six inches to protect the corners of the windowsill and keep water out. The Dupont FlexWrap is engineered with self-adhering butyl flashing to form a chemical bond to the Tyvek and is installed without any mechanical fasteners protecting corners against air and water intrusion. Low expansion foam is used to seal and minimize drafts. All installations are inspected by a Tyvek/Pella representative to ensure a great seal every time.

This unique installation partnership gives Korndoerfer Homes original homeowners a 10-year limited warranty against water. If the Dupont products fail within the 10-year limited warranty timeframe, Dupont will cover the cost of materials and labor to not only repair the window seal, but also to repair everything that the water damaged (e.g. drywall, insulation, flooring, etc). There is no other installation warranty in the marketplace as outstanding as this one.

The Pella vinyl low-e argon filled windows and patio doors include a limited lifetime product warranty to the original owner and labor is included for the first two years.
