Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
Air and vapour control layer membrane
Application
- To be used in low condensation risk buildings to omit the risk of interstitial condensation within the structure as well as improving the airtightness of the building.
Description
A green tinted, semi-transparent polyethylene air and vapour control layer used to remove the risk of interstitial condensation within a structure as well as improving airtightness by restricting the passage of warm, moist air from within the building from permeating into the structure or the roof.
Features and benefits:
- CE UKCA Mark EN 13984:2013
- The membrane is supplied in multi folded rolls, 2.45 m x 50 m and 4 m x 50 m.
- Versatile application - used within floor, wall and roof constructions.
- Large format rolls mean rapid installation.
- Semi-transparent - stud locations visible through membrane.
- Manufactured under a Quality Management System approved to ISO 9001:2015; Environmental System ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS ISO 45001:2018.
