Air leakage in buildings can lead to a significant increase in energy consumption. To optimize the high performance of insulation now required in both new and refurbished buildings, good practice dictates the installation of a continuous vapour control layer on the inner face, and a vapour permeable underlay to the outer face of the building envelope. This ensures optimal airtightness of the habitable space, coupled with the essential breathability of the building fabric. The quality of both the living environment and the building structure itself is enhanced by adopting this good practice.
HCONTROL REFLEX+ is a triple purpose solution: it is a vapour control layer and an airtight barrier that also acts as supplementary insulation! A vapour control layer is a water vapour resistant material placed inside a heated space between the insulation and the internal lining. Its purpose is to block the transmission of water vapour. A vapour control layer also improves the airtightness of the building envelope.
