Protect
Membranes, UK producer of roofing and construction membranes, has introduced
Protect VB200, a reflective air and vapour control layer with an integral
self-sealing adhesive backing, designed for use in either flat warm roof
construction or on walls, floors and ceilings where bonding the membrane to the
substrate would be beneficial.
Suited
to offsite and modular construction, Protect VB200 features a high purity
foil surface on both front and back of the membrane, to provide thermal
enhancement if used with an unventilated airspace.
As a
bitumen-free product, Protect VB200 features a reinforcement grid for added
stability yet is lightweight for ease of installation and can be walked upon
straight after installation on a flat roof. Cold applied without the
requirement for heat, Protect VB200 does not need an additional primer in many
instances, thereby providing time saving and efficiency benefits.
John
Mellor, Protect Product Manager comments: “Protect VB200 delivers many
advantages over traditional bitumen based membranes. With wide appeal across
multiple applications, the high-tack self-adhesive used ensures an airtight
system is achieved with excellent vapour resistance. This not only
provides energy saving performance but helps avoid condensation risk.”
CE marked and available in 1.5m wide and 50m lengths for
ease of handling, Protect VB200 is suitable to be used in high humidity and
vapour loaded areas such as swimming pools, kitchens and bathrooms. For
roof applications, the product can be installed unrestricted throughout the UK
and Ireland in wind uplift zones 1-5 to BS 5534.
