Vapour Control Layers

Breathable membranes and vapour control layers are essential building products used in construction to manage moisture and improve energy efficiency. Breathable membranes are designed to allow moisture vapor to escape from the building while preventing water ingress, protecting the structure from dampness and condensation. They are commonly used in roofs and walls to enhance thermal performance and prevent the growth of mold and rot.

Vapour control layers, on the other hand, are used to restrict the movement of moisture vapor within the building envelope. They are typically installed on the warm side of insulation to prevent condensation and moisture damage. Vapour control layers are crucial in maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing the deterioration of building materials.

Both breathable membranes and vapour control layers play a vital role in creating a well-insulated, energy-efficient, and durable building. They are available in various forms, such as films, membranes, and sheets, and can be used in a range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
