Certificate type
Airtight vapour control layer.
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.
