SOLITEX FRONTA WA
Highly permeable 3-ply wall lining membrane with monolithic TEEE membrane, suitable for closed façades
Advantages
- Strong, 3-ply structure for protecting the wall structure
- Protective function as a result of non-porous functional membrane that actively manages moisture
- High nail tear resistance
- For use behind closed façades
- 3 months of outdoor exposure
Application
For making walls externally windproof. Installation on boarding, wood-based panels and all insulation mats and boards.

General conditions
SOLITEX FRONTA WA membranes are to be installed horizontally in a taut manner with no sagging.
The membrane must not be secured in areas where water collectively drains off.
The membrane can be used behind closed facades with at least 20 mm (1") of rear ventilation.
Additional measures during the building phase (e.g. covering with tarpaulin) should be taken in the case of occupied buildings or buildings that need particular protection. Covering with tarpaulin should also be considered in the case of extended interruptions to work.
