The Benefits of an AVCL Membrane
Air and Vapour Control
An AVCL membrane also known as a vapour control layer is designed to control moisture vapour exiting a building through the structure while providing an airtight layer to retain the warmth of a building for improved thermal efficiency.
Increase Energy Efficiency
Reducing air leaks with an AVCL membrane reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling due to air loss.
An AVCL membrane maintains the effectiveness of insulation materials, leading to lower energy consumption and increased comfort for the building's occupants.
Compliance with Building Regulations
An AVCL Membrane is a high-performance air and vapour control layer designed to reduce the risk of fire spread in all buildings, including residential ones such as schools, hospitals, and care homes.
The new ARBOShield Pro® AVCL membrane boasts some of the highest performance ratings in the market with a Class A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification. Find out more about its performance here.
Where are AVCL Membranes Used?
Residential Blocks
An AVCL membrane is essential for safety in high-rise residential blocks, which must comply with Building Regulation fire class ratings. The ARBOShield Pro AVCL membrane, which is Class A reaction to fire rated, meets, in fact, exceeds these requirements.
Schools
Schools often use fire-rated AVCL membranes to ensure the safety of their students, as they must comply with Building Regulations and insurance requirements.
Hospitals and Care Homes
High-risk buildings such as hospitals and care homes also use fire-rated AVCL membranes to reduce the risk of fire spreading and damaging the building structure, which could affect vulnerable occupants.
