Yes. It is perfectly acceptable to use DuPont™ Tyvek® StuccoWrap® under brick. Whether using DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap® or DuPont™ Tyvek® StuccoWrap® under brick it is important to follow brick manufacturer’s guidelines regarding the use of an air space between the brick veneer and sheathing. Typically this space is 1″-2″ and will act as a drainage plane if incidental moisture were to penetrate the brick in addition to ventilating behind the cladding which aids in drying of the wall assembly.
