SOLITEX ADHERO VISTO
Transparent full-surface adhesive airtightness and weathering-protection membrane
Advantages
- Protects the structure against weathering during the construction phase
- 3 months of outdoor exposure in Central/Northern Europe, Canada and the northern US; 6 weeks in the rest of the world
- Preparation work is made easier: markings, connectors and penetrations on timber floors remain visible
- Safe working: anti-slip surface, even in wet conditions
- Water-resistant SOLID adhesive ensures quick adhesion to the subsurface and within overlap areas
Areas of application
Temporary protection for floors during construction
Thanks to its full-surface adhesion, this membrane provides temporary protection for intermediate floors on multi-storey CLT (cross-laminated timber) or wooden-frame buildings during the construction period.

Planning and construction guidelines
Areas of application
The pro clima SOLITEX ADHERO VISTO self-adhesive and airtight weathering-protection membranes can be used:
- for temporary protection of intermediate floors and wall elements during construction on multi-storey timber-element buildings
- to achieve airtightness on the interior and exterior of wood-based products and mineral subsurfaces
- as a roofing underlay membrane on pressure-resistant subsurfaces
Additional areas of application for SOLITEX ADHERO 1000 / 3000:
- on the exterior side of wooden-frame walls behind ventilated pre-wall shells
- as a nail-sealing pre-underlay on roof sheathing and suitable wood-based panels underneath slate coverings
Use as temporary protection on timber element structures during construction
SOLITEX ADHERO membranes can be used as temporary protection for floors/ceilings on multi-storey timber construction projects.
Run-offs that remove water from the intermediate floor/ceiling and/or building are to be provided so that rainwater does not accumulate on the membrane. Full-surface adhesion prevents moisture from spreading underneath the membrane if the membrane should be damaged during the course of construction.
At element joints and/or joints with wood-based panels, at least 10 cm (4") of SOLITEX ADHERO should be provided as an overlap onto the adjacent element/wood-based panel. Timber (or derived timber material) surfaces that may have become damp can quickly dry out again thanks to the low diffusion resistance of this membrane.
Use to achieve airtightness of walls on timber structures
The pro clima SOLITEX ADHERO system can be used to achieve airtightness on timber-element walls (wooden-frame, ‘Brettstapel’ and CLT elements) on the inside and outside. In the case of membranes applied on the exterior in particular, it should be ensured that the airtightness layer of the walls is bonded to the airtightness layers of the roof surfaces. For installation on the exterior, these products additionally provide weathering protection during the construction phase. Full-surface adhesion with the relevant subsurface also ensures that seepage underneath the membranes cannot occur.
Use to achieve airtightness of walls on masonry and concrete structures
Unplastered masonry and concrete walls, e.g. made from pre-fabricated components, are regarded as not being airtight due to their joints. SOLITEX ADHERO membranes can be stuck directly onto the exterior of stable mineral subsurfaces. Adjacent airtight building components also have to be stuck to one of these membranes in the area around joints to ensure the airtightness of the surface.
Rainproof roofing underlays
These membranes may be used as temporary coverings and additional rain-protection measures, in accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
