Polyethylene Membrane

Welcome to the Polyethylene Membrane category at Insulation4less, where we curate a selection of high-quality polyethylene membranes, each carefully chosen for its exceptional protective and insulating properties. Navigating through various brands and types, here, we dive into exploring grouped product types, their practical uses, and a brief guide to aid your selection process.

Breathable Roofing Membranes

• Dupont Tyvek Supro
• Dupont Tyvek UV Facade

Breathable roofing membranes like the Dupont Tyvek Supro and Dupont Tyvek UV Facade are meticulously designed to provide superior weather protection for buildings during and after construction. These membranes typically allow moisture from inside the building to escape while preventing water and moisture from the outside environment from infiltrating the structure. The Tyvek UV Facade is specifically engineered to also resist UV radiation, making it suitable for open joint cladding systems where UV resistance is critical.

Reflective Vapour Control Layers

• Reflectatherm Plus Reflective Vapour Control Layer

The Reflectatherm Plus Reflective Vapour Control Layer combines robust vapour control with an additional thermal performance layer. This reflective vapour control layer is typically utilised in wall and roof installations to prevent interstitial condensation and simultaneously enhance the thermal efficiency by reflecting radiant heat back into the building.

Tanking and Damp Proof Membranes

• IKO Hyload Tanking Membrane
• IKO Hyload DPM

IKO’s Hyload Tanking Membrane and DPM (Damp Proof Membrane) excel in providing robust waterproofing solutions. The tanking membranes are typically used to prevent water ingress in structures such as basements or below ground level installations, whilst DPMs are utilised to shield buildings from ground moisture, ensuring the longevity of structures and maintaining indoor air quality.

Standard Vapour Control Layers

• Procheck VCL 125 Vapour Barrier

The Procheck VCL 125 is a standard vapour control layer designed to restrict the passage of warm, moist air from within the building, from permeating into the structure of the roof, wall, or floor. Apt for various applications, it effectively minimises the risk of condensation, structural decay, and mould growth.

Selecting The Right Product

When selecting the ideal polyethylene membrane or accessory for your project, consider the following:

• Application Area: Different membranes are suitable for varied applications – roofing, wall installations, or underground structures.
• Weather Resistance: Identify products that cater to specific weather resistances, such as UV or moisture protection.
• Thermal Performance: If thermal insulation is paramount, opt for membranes with reflective or additional thermal properties.
• Building Codes & Regulations: Ensure that the selected membrane adheres to local building codes and regulations.
