Did you know that it is possible to use air and vapour barrier membranes to tighten the seal of an industrial or commercial building?

Widely used by contractors, these membranes address the problems of permeation and condensation in particular.

Air and vapour barrier membranes act as extra layers of protection for industrial, residential and commercial buildings.

What is an air barrier membrane?

The main function of an air barrier membrane is to prevent indoor or outdoor air from circulating. They are available in several formats (liquid, paste, adhesive sheets, etc.).

Air barrier insulators offer several advantages, they:

• Prevent water from entering the walls;
• Allow moisture to escape from the wall cavity;
• Have sufficient strength to resist high winds.

Applying air or vapour barrier membranes is the best way to get rid of drafts and to reduce energy bills.

What is a vapour barrier membrane?

A vapour barrier is a membrane that prevents moisture from seeping into the concealed spaces of a building and causing condensation. It helps buildings to resist air and water vapour leakage.

A quality vapour barrier membrane consists of:

• Good adhesion to building surfaces (concrete, stone, wood, gypsum, metal, etc.).
• Quick and easy application;
• Compatibility with insulation products.

Vapour barrier membranes can be used on all kinds of buildings, whether residential, commercial or industrial. They effectively protect all areas of high humidity.

Always of good quality and well installed, this durable insulator will prove most effective.
