Effisus Vapour FR 

Façade membranes are critical to a building’s weatherproofing, comfort and energy efficiency. They also play a key role in enhancing the durability of the façade.

 Vapour membranes, also known as airtight vapour control layers (AVCL), block water, air and vapour from passing through, therefore protecting buildings from condensation while improving overall airtightness and energy efficiency. Mould build-up is therefore avoided, mitigating health issues and material decay expected to result from condensation. 

On geographies with wet and cold seasons, such as the UK and most European countries, these are regularly applied on the inner layer of the façade. Conversely, when temperatures are high most of the year, such as in the Middle Eastern countries, these are installed on the outer layer. The position of the AVCL membrane is driven by condensation physics, not construction habits. 

Effisus Vapour FR membrane is a highly differentiated Class A1 fire-classified membrane and ensures the highest standards in airtightness, watertightness and UV exposure, resulting therefore in a positive contribution to the building’s safety, efficiency and longevity. For peace of mind and compliance, this solution is backed by solid test results, proven real conditions and it is BBA, DCD and ADCD certified. 

Effisus Vapour FR is complemented by a full range of dedicated accessories for fixing the membrane in place, addressing overlaps, sealing the perimeter even on rougher and porous surfaces and lastly sealing punctual perforations. The result is a complete, reliable, and easy-to-install system that saves time on site while guaranteeing long-term performance. 

To complete the weatherproofing of a fire-classified building envelope, Effisus ProFlex FR is the ideal solution for interfaces, while Effisus Breather FR UV is suitable where a breathable membrane is required.
