Air and vapour control layer | - |
Type | V-Gard Vapor Control layer.Firestone V-Gard Vapor Control Membrane is designed to be used as a vapour control layer in Firestone roofing systems. It consists of a reinforced aluminium foil with self-adhesive bituminous backing protected by a release film. The fibreglass reinforcement makes it suitable for applications that involve high mechanical stresses. The Firestone V-Gard membrane can be installed on concrete, wood and steel deck. |
Attachment | Self-adhesive bituminous backing. |
