Airtight vapour control layer.

Jump to:
+44 (0) 117 452 9050 Website

Application

Suitable for roofs, walls or floors.

Description

A dedicated air barrier with 100% airtightness and low vapour resistance, which allows rapid drying-out of damp wall elements. The primary function is to improve energy-efficiency by reducing convective heat losses through a roof, wall or floor element.


Features and benefits:

  • Limited vapour transmission.
  • Airtight and water resistant.
  • CE-conformity for plastic and rubber vapour control layer (EN 13984).
  • Superior mechanical strength.
  • Reaction to fire: Class E.
  • Lightweight and easy to install.
  • Reduces convective heat losses and vapour transfer.
  • Reduces risk of trapped moisture in the insulation.
