High performance, non-combustible reflective vapour control membrane.
Application
Suitable for use in many external wall types (timber frame, metal stud, concrete etc.) for buildings which pose a higher risk for fire safety: residential blocks of flats, student accommodations, care homes, sheltered housing, hospitals, dormitories in boarding schools with a storey above 18 m in height and high risk residential buildings (HRRB).
Description
PhotonCheck-A1 is a high-performance, non-combustible (to BS EN 13501–1) reflective vapour control membrane specifically designed to enhance the thermal performance of wall, ceiling or floor structures.
Features and benefits:
- Suitable for over 18m high-rise/high risk.
- Installed on the warm side of the structure.
- Low emissivity surface boosts thermal performance.
- Excellent vapour resistance.
- Reduces unwanted air leakage.
- UV, heat and corrosion resistant.
- Roll size 50 x 1.35 m.
The product has been independently tested and certified to the latest European Standards by accredited European test houses.
