Protect BarriAir air barrier and vapour control layer
Protect BarriAir with integrated lap and sealing tapes is a high performance, multi-purpose and coated non-woven membrane which forms a highly effective air leakage barrier with vapour control qualities. Installed on the warm side of the structure immediately adjacent to the insulation, BarriAir can be used on walls and ceilings to significantly reduce air leakage in any construction, helping to meet Building Regulations and airtightness requirements. The product features a printed grid for simple alignment with timber studs or joists.
