Product Information

The Visqueen Vapour Barrier DPM is a 1200 gauge (300µm) virgin polyethylene membrane, designed for use within roof, wall, and floor constructions. Manufactured in the UK, it offers an impressive vapour resistance of greater than 530 MNs/g, making it ideal for controlling condensation in a range of building types, including timber frame housing and commercial buildings. Supplied as a single wound sheet, the Visqueen Vapour Barrier significantly reduces the risk of cracks in screed.

 

Pros:

  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of internal building conditions, the Visqueen Vapour Barrier DPM can be used within roofs, walls, and floors, making it a valuable addition to your construction project.
  • High Vapour Resistance: With a vapour resistance of greater than 530 MNs/g, this product effectively restricts the passage of warm, moist air from the interior of the building, reducing the risk of interstitial condensation and associated structural damage.
  • Single Wound Sheeting: The Visqueen Vapour Barrier is supplied in single wound sheeting, which reduces the risk of cracks in screed, ensuring long-lasting protection.
  • UK Manufactured: Made in the UK, this product ensures consistent quality and adheres to stringent manufacturing standards.

Cons:

  • Humidity Limitations: The Visqueen Vapour Barrier is designed for use in environments with humidity levels less than 60% at 20 degrees Celsius (BS5250: 2002 class 2 and 3 conditions), making it less suitable for buildings with higher humidity levels or more demanding conditions.
  • Installation Complexity: Proper installation of the Visqueen Vapour Barrier requires adherence to the recommendations of BS5250: 2002 ‘Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings’, and may necessitate the use of various tapes and accessories to ensure a continuous and properly sealed barrier.
