Wraptite - Isle of Man

Andrew Burley, Quantity Surveyor at the Excel Group, explains why Wraptite, the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA, was selected.

“Wraptite provided the building fabric with excellent protection from the coastal elements prior to installing the Gebrik panels. We will definitely be using Wraptite on future projects.”

Wraptite combines the critical properties of vapour permeability and airtightness in one self-adhering membrane. Incorporating Wraptite saves on both the labour and material costs associated with achieving the energy efficiency demands in building.

Wraptite is Class B1-s1,d0, compliant with Part B regulation changes for use in the external wall systems of buildings over 18m in height, both as a continuous layer on sheathing board behind fire classified insulation, and for use to tape joints in insulation behind rainscreen.”
