Effisus Vapour FR Membrane is a high quality and multifunctional weatherproofing vapour barrier made of a fiberglass technology with an aluminum foil, developed to achieve a fire reaction Class A1.
For use as a Vapour Control Layer Membrane (VCL) the following substrates:
BBA Certificate 21/5951 (Product Sheet 1).
High quality and multifunctional weatherproofing airtight vapour barrier manufactured from fibreglass technology with an aluminium foil, developed to achieve a fire reaction Class A1 as membrane and Class A2-s1,d0 as system according to BS EN 13501-1. The final fire classification of the system was obtained for Effisus Vapour FR membrane with Effisus ancillary items/accessories (fixing/ sealing tapes and adhesives).
The product should be located on the internal face (warm side) of the back wall and fixed on the top of vertical Galvanized Steel SFS Studs. The weatherproofing design of AVCL membrane systems should be done in detail and on a project-by-project basis.
The Effisus Vapour FR Membrane is a high quality and multifunctional weatherproofing vapour barrier made of a special fiberglass technology with an aluminum foil, developed to achieve a fire reaction Class A1 in accordance with EN 13501-1.
Works as a vapour control layer (VCL) protecting the building from condensation risk and improving the airtightness and consequently the energy efficiency.
Can be used in facade rainscreen cladding, curtain walls and many other applications to protect the insulation and building interior from water, heat radiation and moisture transfer. It also works as a fire retardant layer in constructions.
