The benefits of a VCL Membrane
Vapour Control
VCL membranes also known as a vapour control layer are 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 a VCL membrane reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling due to a loss of air.
VCL membranes maintain the effectiveness of insulation materials which in turn, leads to lower energy consumption and increased comfort for the building's occupants.
Compliance with Building Regulations
VCL membranes are high performance vapour control layers that are designed to reduce the risk of fire spread in all buildings from residential to such as schools, hospitals, and care homes for example.
The new ARBOShield Pro® VCL 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 VCL Membranes Used?
Residential Blocks
VCL membranes are essential for safety in high rise residential blocks as they must comply to Building Regulation fire class ratings. The ARBOShield Pro VCL membrane, which is Class A reaction to fire rated meets, in fact exceeds these requirements.
Schools
Schools often use fire rated VCL membranes to ensure the safety of their students due to their need to be compliant with Building Regulations and insurance requirements.
Hospital and Care Homes
High risk buildings such as hospitals and care homes also use fire rated VCL membranes to reduce the risk of fire spread and damage to the building structure that could affect vulnerable occupants.
