The
A. Proctor Group has launched a new wall membrane composite, which will
improve airtightness levels whilst at the same time addresses the need
to reduce thermal bridging, particularly in refurbishment projects.
Wraptherm
is a high-performance self-adhesive membrane composite specifically
developed to be applied during the refurbishment of existing buildings,
and specifically where there is a requirement to enhance the thermal and
airtightness performance of the building.
Wraptherm consists of a
10mm Spacetherm insulation blanket bonded to the face of Wraptite, the
industry recognised vapour permeable, self-adhesive airtight membrane.
Designed
to be applied to the internal face of the existing facade, Wraptherm
provides a vapour permeable yet airtight layer, fully self-adhered to
the substrate beneath with the added benefit of a 10mm thick layer of
high-performance Spacetherm insulation blanket. Over this
airtight/thermal composite framing can then be installed. The
installation of Wraptherm therefore provides the added benefit of
reducing the thermal bridging through the framing by the use of the
continuous layer of insulation. Where required, additional thermal
insulation can be included within the frame to meet the specific U-value
requirements of the project.
The offset nature of the Wraptite
component allows for a completely robust sealing of all of the joints
within the panel thereby ensuring the continuity, integrity and
robustness of the airtight layer
