Cork housing development balances airtightness with variable vapour control layer ..

vapour control layer

Leading timber frame specialists Cygnum Timber Frame required a high-quality membrane that combines effective air tightness and vapour control, for a brand new housing development in County Cork Ireland. Procheck Adapt has been specifically designed to protect the building fabric from the potential risks of condensation, whilst serving as a highly effective airtight barrier. Thanks to its unique design the membrane offers variable permeability which adapts to changes in humidity levels and allows the structure to dry out in the summer and while protecting it from moisture overload in the winter. This is possible because the membrane adapts its vapour resistance to the environment i.e. vapour tight in the winter and vapour open in the summer.
