Execution | Manufacturer guidanceME010 UV & Fire Breather Membrane is unfurled and applied directly from the log to the substrates. The membrane is secured with tape to the structure and overlapping seams to create a homogenous and continuous protection layer. Applications should start from the bottom of the building and work upwards overlapping subsequent horizontal and vertical layers by a minimum of 100 mm. Perimeters and overlapping's seams are sealed with illbruck ME315 Total Protection Tape or other tape specified by illbruck. Some details e.g. floor junction or solid walls may require the use of illbruck SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive in addition to the ME315 Total Protection Tape. |
