Product Application
Material role and system position
Controls indoor water vapor and air leakage into insulated roof and wall assemblies. Its exact position must follow climate, indoor conditions and hygrothermal design.
- Primary role
- Interior vapor and air control layer
- Selection
- Project location, assembly position and corresponding test evidence
- Supply
- Project quantities and agreed roll format, labeling and packaging
Application Areas
Typical applications
Warm side of insulated metal roofsConfirm against project drawings and product documentation
Interior side of wall insulationConfirm against project drawings and product documentation
Timber-frame air and vapor controlConfirm against project drawings and product documentation
High-humidity envelope assembliesConfirm against project drawings and product documentation
Selection logic
Confirm vapor resistance, air-tight continuity, joint tape compatibility, penetrations, substrate and service temperature. Do not place the layer by a fixed rule without checking reverse seasonal vapor drives.
Application limits
A vapor barrier is not an exterior breathable membrane and does not repair an already wet insulation system or defective roof drainage.
