Application

Suitable as a vapour control layer in lightweight steel framed walls, timber framed walls, volumetric buildings and other offsite construction models. ME060 is terminated within the reveal and sealed to the structure. Use a separate purpose-made internal perimeter sealing membrane such as illbruck ME480 to close the tolerance gap between the glazed frame, structure and vapour control membrane to comply with the new Part L: 2021 "Conservation of Fuel and Power" of the Building Regulations and BS 5250 2021 "Management of moisture in buildings- code of practice".

Description

ME060 A2 FR AVCL has a Class A2-s1,d0 Reaction to Fire according to EN 13501-1 and is highly suited to “Relevant Buildings” where there is a requirement to comply with Approved Document B, Part B4, Regulations 7 or other buildings that are being treated with equal “fire sensitivity”.


ME060 is used in conjunction with illbruck ME355 A2 FR Sealing Tape to close the perimeter joints and overlapping seams. Tremco TF448 double-sided tape or SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive are used to support and bond the membrane sheet to the timber or metal stud work. The combination of materials forms a homogenous Vapour Control Barrier on the warm side of framed walls and some solid walls or precast concrete walls where provision is made for a sacrificial internal cavity or services void.


Features and benefits:

  • Air and vapour tight; can be used to comply with Passive Haus standards.
  • 95% heat reflection. Provides significantly improved energy efficiency.
  • Durability - Aluminium, glass fibre reinforced membrane ensures long lasting strength and durability.

Execution

Guidance for specification option:

illbruck method statement strictly adhered to. This needs to be obtained by the contractor. Memco TF448 Double-Sided Bonding Tape, available in 20 or 50 mm width, is used in combination with ME060 A2 Vapour Barrier Pro to provide bonding to the stud work framing & Sealing all terminated membrane edges and joining overlapping seams is accomplished with ME355 FR Sealing Tape. The TF 448 Tape can alternatively be substituted with the illbruck SP025 Fire Membrane Adhesive.


illbruck ME480/ME481 or ME322 Internal Foil Tape 100mm is recommended for forming the final connection between the ME060 A2 Vapour Barrier Pro and the internal face of the window frame.
