Trade Select 1500mm x 30LM VapourTech Wall Wrap Insulation

Trade Select VapourTech Wall Wrap Insulation

Trade Select 1500mm x 30LM VapourTech Wall Wrap Insulation is a high-performance, Class 4 vapour permeable membrane designed to manage moisture, air, and water within wall systems. This advanced wall wrap solution allows significant amounts of water vapour to pass through its non-woven structure, reducing the risk of condensation-related issues such as mould growth and structural damage. Simultaneously, it acts as an effective barrier against liquid water infiltration, improving the longevity and energy efficiency of the building.

The Trade Select VapourTech Wall Wrap features a triple-layer construction that provides exceptional durability and protection in various climates across Australia. Its UV resistance for up to 90 days ensures suitability for prolonged installations before cladding. Designed for use behind fibre cement and timber cladding, as well as brick veneer systems, it performs well even in coastal areas exposed to salt and in buildings constructed with treated timber.

This product is also suitable for high wind load areas (up to 3.5 kpa) and is rated for low flammability, making it ideal for installation in bushfire-prone areas. The wrap’s puncture-resistant and high-strength material ensures long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding environments.

When installing behind non-absorbent claddings such as steel, it’s essential to ensure proper drainage mechanisms are in place to prevent the accumulation of trapped moisture. For additional technical details, refer to the Trade Select VapourTech Wall Wrap Technical Data Sheet.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Class 4 Vapour Permeable: Facilitates the escape of water vapour from the wall structure, preventing condensation and related issues.
• Triple-Layer Construction: Ensures superior moisture, air, and water control, with high durability.
• UV Resistant: Offers up to 90 days of UV resistance, allowing extended time for installation before cladding.
• Puncture and Tear Resistant: High-strength material suitable for use in high wind load areas (up to 3.5 kpa).
• Low Flammability: Safe for use in bushfire-prone zones, compliant with BAL ratings.
• Coastal and Treated Timber Approved: Chemically non-reactive, ideal for coastal homes and treated timber.
• Water and Air Barrier: Shields walls from water penetration while allowing vapour to escape and preventing air drafts.
