Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
DoP
Certificate type
A paper-based, sustainable airtight vapour control layer for internal applications. UKCA approved. CE approved.
Application
Partel VARA PLUS ECO can be used as an inner airtight membrane and vapour control layer. Primary usage includes internal walls, ceilings, and floors. The Partel ECO membranes supports a safe, eco-responsible building design for lower environmental impact.
Suitable for:
- Timber frame structures.
- Blown wool insulations or solutions.
- New builds and refurbishments.
- Residential and commercial developments.
Description
VARA PLUS ECO is an internal sustainable vapour control layer (VCL) that consists of up to 65% renewable FSC paper. It is a three-layer membrane with FSC Kraft paper on both sides, reducing the carbon footprint.
Features and benefits:
- The humidity variable vapour barrier has a variable range of 0.3–50. This characteristic provides good summer drying conditions alongside winter protection.
- Includes hygrovariable technology for active moisture control in the assembly.
- Optimal airtightness and water vapour transmission rate in different climate conditions.
- High tear-resistance and strength due to fabric mesh reinforcement.
- Watertight to W1 class.
- Ecolabel Emicode EC1 PLUS – meets the strict requirements of GEV construction.
