Description
Protect BarriAir with integrated lap and sealing tapes is a high performance and multi-purpose coated non-woven membrane which forms a highly effective air leakage barrier with vapour control qualities.
Features and benefits:
- Suitable for timber frame, pre-cast concrete and traditional brick and block construction.
- Provides an airtight system when installed with sealed laps.
- Dramatically reduces heat loss through the building fabric.
- Improves the thermal performance of all insulants by reducing convection flows.
- Tough, durable with high tear resistance.
- Provides support to mineral wool and rock fibre when fixed to timber frame studs or rafters.
- Helps to avoid interstitial condensation risk within insulation in accordance with BS 5250.
- Separate Protect sealing tapes also available.
- Suitable for Passivhaus projects.
- Easy to cut and lightweight to handle in 1.5 x 50 m rolls.
- 3 m wide option, without integrated tape, suitable for factory fitting.
