Breather membrane (WRB) for use behind ventilated pre-wall shells

Advantages

  • In accordance with DIN 68800-2: for timber wall structures behind ventilated pre-wall shells
  • Protects wall structures against moisture from the ventilation layer
  • Protects the building component during the construction phase: very resistant to driving rain
  • 3 months of outdoor exposure

Areas of application

For use as a slightly diffusion-inhibiting breather membrane (weather-resistive barrier, WRB) on mineral-fibre and wood-fibre insulating panels behind a ventilated masonry/brick exterior wall.

Installation instructions

General conditions

SOLITEX FRONTA HUMIDA membranes must be installed with the printed side facing outwards. The membranes are to be installed horizontally in a taut manner with no sagging.

Fasteners should not be applied in areas where water run-off is collected.

Additional measures (e.g. covering with tarpaulins) should be taken during the construction phase in the case of buildings that are lived in or buildings that are to be given particular protection. Covering with tarpaulins should also be considered if construction work is to be interrupted for a longer period.
