Onduline Ondutiss Facade 100 Breathable Membrane – From (£297.00) per roll

New vapour permeable wall membrane will help construction professionals meet zero carbon targets.

Onduline, the light weight roofing systems and waterproofing specialist, has launched its new vapour permeable wall membrane, ONDUTISS FAÇADE 100.

With the introduction of the new Approved Document Part L on thermal efficiency, there is a greater emphasis on building more sustainable homes, as it calls for a 31% reduction in CO² emissions for dwellings and 27% for all other buildings.

Utilising walling membranes, such as ONDUTISS FAÇADE 100, can make a real impact on these figures, and Onduline says the product has been designed with this in mind.

As part of Onduline’s popular range of ONDUTISS membranes, ONDUTISS FAÇADE 100 walling membranes consists of a layer of polypropylene layered between two sheets of non-woven polypropylene, making them vapour permeable. Onuduline says this guarantees a breathable wall membrane that protects and insulates buildings against humidity, wind and condensation.

Ardit Strica, Technical Manager at Onduline Building Products, said: “With the drive to adopt a ‘fabric first’ approach when it comes to building sustainable homes, products such as ONDUTISS FAÇADE 100 can make a real difference to the thermal efficiency of a property.

“We’re delighted to be able to launch this new product to the market and look forward to working with professionals within the industry as we all strive to meet the zero carbon targets that have been set out.”

Supplied in roll form in a pleasing anthracite grey, ONDUTISS FACADE 100 is a highly breathable housewrap that protects thermal insulation against damping, minimises heat loss and is UV resistant. Suitable for timber, concrete and steel framed constructions, it is ideal for use in both new build and renovation projects for houses, leisure buildings, timber buildings: leisure housing, stables, and other outbuildings.

The housewraps are produced using functional films, secured from both sides with polypropylene non-woven vlies, ensuring the three-layer high-permeable waterproof membrane meets the highest quality parameters with regard to tear resistance and stretchability.
