Product Information

Wraptite is the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA and combines the critical properties of vapour permeability and airtightness in one self-adhering membrane. This approach saves on both the labour and material costs associated with achieving the energy efficiency demands in buildings.

Glenn Giddens, Project Manager of I &S Construction, commented: The Wraptite self-adhesive membrane could be applied externally, quickly and efficiently providing a high quality installation and robust through wall cladding system, without the additional need for mechanical fixing required using a standard membrane.”

Wraptite is Class B1-s1,d0, compliant with Approved Document B Building Regulations 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.
