A breathable membrane, or breather membrane, is a thin, flexible building material used in walls and roofs that blocks liquid water (like rain) but allows water vapor (moisture) to escape, preventing condensation, mold, and rot while keeping structures dry, airtight, and improving energy efficiency. It works by having microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets but large enough for vapor molecules, protecting timber and insulation.
UV-Resistant for Extended Durability
Enhanced with UV stabilisers, this membrane resists the ageing effects of exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors, maintaining its protective properties for up to one month of direct sun exposure.
Outstanding Windproof Properties
The Kingway effectively shields external wall insulation from atmospheric moisture, uncontrolled airflow, and energy loss, ensuring your building remains energy-efficient and thermally stable.
Key Benefits
1.Energy Efficiency: Prevents uncontrolled airflows and minimises heat loss, maintaining high thermal performance.
2.Breathability: A low Sd value of 0.02 m ensures proper wall ventilation, protecting against moisture accumulation, mould, and mildew.
3.Dust and Fibre Protection: Safeguards wall insulation from fibre displacement and dust contamination.
4.Cold Resistance: Protects buildings from cooling, ensuring comfortable interiors year-round.
5.Flame Retardancy: Classified as fire-resistant for added safety.
6.UV Stability: Withstands direct sunlight for up to one month without compromising performance.
7.Easy Installation: Printed guides on the membrane simplify accurate overlapping and application.
Applications
This windproof membrane is tailored for external walls of lightweight buildings, whether timber-framed or steel-framed. It's also suitable for use beneath cladding systems such as siding or in ventilated façade systems, ensuring complete wall protection against external elements.
