Visqueen Fully Bonded Vapour Barrier - Composite air vapour control layer
Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
Self adhesive multi-layer vapour barrier.
Application
Visqueen Fully Bonded Vapour Barrier is an air and vapour control layer (AVCL) and is used in high condensation risk buildings, or
where a fully bonded vapour barrier is required to reduce the risk of interstitial condensation occurring within the structure as well
as improving the airtightness of the building.
The barrier restricts the passage of warm, moist air within the building from permeating into the floor, wall or roof structure.
The barrier is designed to be installed to the warm side of floors, walls and roofs subjected to humidity levels greater than 50% at 20°C (BS 5250:2021 humidity classes 3, 4 and 5) e.g. dwellings with high occupancy, sports halls, canteens, school classrooms, hospitals, laundries and swimming pools.
Description
Visqueen Fully Bonded Vapour Barrier is a foil lined modified bitumen rubber membrane with a self adhesive coating protected by a removable polyethylene release film. It is silver on the upper surface and supplied in rolls 1m x 20m.
Features and benefits:
- CE UKCA Mark EN 13984:2013
- Versatile application - used within floor, wall and roof constructions
- Suitable for all BS 5250:2021 humidity classes including those with high internal humidity e.g. laundries and swimming pools
- Self adhesive application - no jointing tapes required
- Self adhesive coating - self seals around mechanical fixings
