VWFHYP Series - Butyl Vapor Permeable Tape

An exterior butyl flashing tape that protects window and façade transitions while supporting outward drying.

Product Overview

VWFHYP Series Butyl Vapor Permeable Tape is a premium self-adhesive exterior sealing tape designed for window and door openings in low-energy and high-performance building envelopes. Applied to the outside of windows and doors, it helps block liquid water intrusion while allowing trapped moisture vapor to escape from the wall assembly.

As an external vapor-permeable flashing tape, VWFHYP supports outward drying and helps reduce condensation risk around window and door details. It is especially suitable for European low-energy window installation methods where the exterior side must remain weather-resistant, airtight, and vapor-open.

For improved installation flexibility, VWFHYP can be supplied with customized split release film configurations. A narrow self-adhesive strip on the reverse side can also be added upon request, allowing easier pre-fixing to window or door frames before final bonding to the surrounding wall substrate.
