Application

Visqueen Vapour Barrier is an air and vapour control layer (AVCL) and is used in medium condensation risk buildings to reduce the risk of interstitial condensation occurring within the structure as well as improving the airtightness of the building.

Description

A green tinted, semi-transparent polyethylene vapour control layer designed to restrict the passage of warm, moist air from within a building from permeating into the building structure or the roof.

Features and benefits:

CE Mark EN 13984:2013
The membrane is supplied in single wound (not folded) 2 x 50 m and 4 x 25 m centre folded roll formats.
Versatile application.
Single wound and centre fold roll options - rapid installation.
Semi-transparent - stud locations visible through membrane.
Manufactured under a Quality Management System approved to ISO 9001:2015; Environmental System 14001:2015 and OHSAS ISO 45001:2018.
