Certificate type
Internal airtight vapour control layer (AVCL) offering high vapour resistance and low emissivity.
Application
Suitable for use in SFS, timber, CLT and masonry wall systems, pitched and flat roofs. Suitable for installation behind internal linings of wall or roof assemblies or on cement particle board behind insulation in rain screen-cladding systems.
Description
100% Airtight Vapour Control Layer (AVCL)
A high-performance AVCL with exceptional vapour resistance and a low-emissivity reflective surface for enhanced thermal efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits
- Chlorine Resistant – Ensures long-term durability in challenging environments.
- Reflects ~95% of Radiant Heat – Significantly improves thermal performance when combined with a service void or batten space.
- Increases the R-value of the airspace by up to 0.66 m²K/W, reducing heat loss effectively.
- Highly Vapour Resistant – Prevents moisture ingress into insulation layers in roofs or walls.
- Airtight & Water Resistant – Maintains building envelope integrity for superior energy efficiency.
- CE Certified – Conforms to EN 13984 for plastic and rubber vapour control layers.
- Robust Mechanical Strength – Designed to withstand installation stresses.
- Reaction to Fire: Class E – Meets essential safety requirements.
- Condensation Risk Reduction – Considerably lowers the likelihood of interstitial condensation.
