Breathable Waterproof Membrane

Breathable waterproof membranes are essential components in modern construction, offering both protection and breathability to structures. In this category, we explore various types of breathable membranes, their practical uses, and guidance on selecting the right product for specific applications.

Types of Breathable Waterproof Membranes

1. Breather Membrane DIY Kits - These kits, like the Black+ Breather Membrane DIY Kit, are perfect for hands-on enthusiasts. They provide all necessary components for effective waterproofing and are ideal for small to medium-scale projects.
2. Ridge Rolls - Products such as the Ridge Roll - 6m from ROOFTEC, are specialised for roof applications. They ensure that the peak of the roof remains watertight while allowing for adequate ventilation.
3. Standard Breathable Membranes - With variations like BBA 95, 120, and 140, these membranes cater to different durability and breathability needs. They are typically used in walls and roofs to prevent moisture ingress while allowing water vapour to escape.
4. Repair and Reinforcement Solutions - Products like Membrane Repair Tape are essential for maintaining the integrity of existing membranes, offering a quick and reliable solution for repairs.
5. Specialized Membranes - Products such as the Black+ Ultimate 170GSM Roof and Wall Breather Membrane and the 1600 Gauge Radon Barrier are designed for specific conditions like high moisture or radon protection.
6. Large Scale Construction Wraps - The Black+ Construction Wrap, for instance, is suitable for larger construction projects, providing a barrier against moisture over a large area.

7. DIY Kits for Advanced Applications - Kits like Novia Black+ Ultra and Ultimate DIY Kits are tailored for more complex or extensive projects, providing comprehensive solutions for waterproofing needs.

    

Choosing the Right Membrane

• For Small DIY Projects: Opt for a DIY Kit that matches your skill level and the scale of your project.
• For Roofing Applications: Consider Ridge Rolls for the roof's peak and standard breathable membranes for the rest of the roof.
• For Walls: Choose a standard breathable membrane that balances breathability and water resistance according to the environmental conditions.
• For Repairs: Keep Membrane Repair Tape handy for quick fixes.
• For Special Conditions: Select specialised membranes like radon barriers or higher GSM membranes for specific environmental requirements.

• For Large Projects: Use construction wraps for extensive coverage, ensuring a consistent and effective moisture barrier.

   

Each type of breathable waterproof membrane serves a unique purpose in construction, offering versatile solutions for maintaining the integrity and comfort of buildings.
