TradeSelect VapourTech Wall

Vapour Permeable Air Barrier Membrane
Trade Select™ VapourTech® Wall is classified as Air Barrier, Water Barrier and Class 4 Vapour Permeable. Very high levels of water vapour are allowed to absorb and diffuse through the core non-woven structure, ensuring that condensation risk is controlled, while outside liquid water cannot penetrate inwards. Trade Select™ VapourTech® Wall is chemically non-reactive in conjunction with treated timber and salt conditions close to coastlines.

Product Advantages

  • Class 4 Vapour Permeable
  • Advanced water, air and vapour control membrane
  • Triple layer construction for durability
  • Low Flammability, suitable for all BALs in bushfire-prone areas
  • High strength and puncture resistant

Applications

Trade Select™ VapourTech® Wall is a Residential & Commercial Wall Wrap and Vapour Permeable Membrane for a wide range of wall systems.
