I've done similar testing with both of these products. No comparison. And I was actually hoping that the Everbilt would perform just as good. Not even close. This is especially important to know for those who are installing vinyl siding over top of the wrap, because vinyl siding does NOT keep water out.

Excellent informative video. I would definitely hire you as a builder if I was local. Great job.

This is good to know. I wonder how this would stand up to 30 lb. tar paper?

Cheap does not mean just as good.

Thanks for taking the time to do this test. As you know, Everbilt is woven whereas the Tyvek is spun bonded. In hydro testing, woven wrap can fail with something like a 3 to 3.5 inch water column representing around 70 mph wind blown rain. 15lb felt may even perform better than the woven. Certainly there are other factors when considering wraps, but I think we can all agree that wrap is system that really needs to be applied according to manufactures specs to perform well.

When you add siding or something else you are adding tons of holes and they are not taped??.

Yes, siding nails will still make holes in the house wrap. The siding will overlap so water shouldn’t get in those holes. Also, if you count the sq ft of surface area that the house wrap covers vs the sq ft of the nail holes, it’s still going to make a lot of sense to wrap the house prior to siding.

Do NOT use just staples! At a minimum, use button tab Staples from stinger, Ave your are still required to tape your tabs.

was hoping for a different result, but good food for thought for the future. Right now just replacing exterior of enclosed front porch. About 130 sq ft and a Tyvek roll would cost me 93 dollars while I can do it for 37 dollars with Everbilt. Just can’t give up that 55 dollars. Will be covered with Hardie board so hopefully will be fine and either way 100 times better than the hot mess I am replacing.

You should be just fine. I always overbuild everything so this test is biased. I’m sure you will have a fantastic finished product!

So what you're saying is I could use tyvek as a shower liner? Lol

I wouldn't, but damn near would work. Better than a few of the products out there.

It depends. 9’ you can do with less seams if it’s a large area.

I don't believe this is accurate they have to pass certain standards or they can't sell it

That’s cool brother. I’m not here to argue. Two things: 1 - you see the video. 2 - sure they must “pass” certain standards but they sell a regular product that sucks. That’s just my subjective opinion. For all I care, and this is relative more to other posts, I invite anyone who wants to argue to just always use Everbilt on their projects and be happy. No Tyvek 🙂 easy

Why would you say it's a bad test? He tested both products with the exact same methods. One held water, the other did not.
