Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
High-performance, hybrid non-woven vapour permeable membrane for open cladding.
Application
Suitable for open or ventilated cladding applications. Vertical applications with a wide range of materials including timber, metal, clay and stone.
Description
Protect 5000 Façade is a high-performance, hybrid non-woven vapour permeable membrane specifically designed for use in open cladding applications.
Facades with open rainscreen cladding are a popular architectural feature in modern buildings; however, it is essential in this type of construction to ensure that the structure, insulation and secondary protection membranes are UV stable and can withstand all weather conditions.
Features and benefits:
- Proven long term UV resistance, demonstrated by test.
- Integral sealing tapes on both edges.
- Complies with EN 13859-2.
- Resists the passage of water, windblown snow and dust into the structure.
- Achieves Class W1 water resistance to BS EN 13111.
- High tear strength, weather resistance and vapour permeability.
- UV and heat stabilized.
- Suitable for open or ventilated cladding applications.
- Vertical applications with a wide range of materials including timber, metal, clay and stone.
- Excellent nail tear resistance.
- Lightweight and easy to install.
