Air & vapour control layer

01

A high-performance membrane installed internally to increase airtightness, control water vapour and improve energy efficiency.

Cement sheathing board

02

A fire-classified board which is highly resistant to weathering and provides a surface for the installation of façade systems.

Interface sealing membrane

03

Used specifically to provide a watertight & airtight seal around windows, doors, curtain walling and board/ slab-edge interfaces.

Breather membrane

04

A vapour-permeable layer that protects against water ingress during construction while allowing any trapped moisture to escape.

Cavity tray system

05

Installed in the cavity to collect moisture that may penetrate the brickwork, and direct through weep holes.

DPC membrane

06

A membrane that prevents rising damp from the ground and protects cavity barriers from moisture ingress through the façade.
