I have just had an extension completed and the builders have used Dupont tyvek breathable membrane under the roof tiles. It sems a great product but I am now noticing that it is quite a noisy membrane when the wind blows !!
It seems that the wind gets underneath where the layers overlap and are causing a 'rattling' type noise. I havent insulated between the ceiling joists yet so hopefully that will reduce the noise slightly.
My question is would taping up where the layers overlap (from the inside) reduce the rattling noise and is this acceptable. I am planning to buy some dupont tyvek breathable tape but obviously dont want to go to the hassle of doing this if the building inspector says it is not acceptable.
Anybody else had this type of experience with this membrane ??
Opinions and advice gratefully received !!!!
