Moisture Barrier
Moisture Resistant and Easy to Use: Our Vapour Barriers
The long life of a building and healthy room conditions require detailed knowledge of building physics, thorough planning, proper execution of all construction details and the best use of quality materials and products. Moisture penetration, over the long term, can be extremely damaging to a building. It is the root of substantial subsequent damage, which can prove extremely expensive to repair. Our vapour barrier is a sealing material which has been tested over the years and which acts as a reliable barrier against rising and penetrating moisture resulting from ground water, backwater or driving rain.
The principle of two-shell ventilated facades:
A Perfect Example of
Theory Being Put to Practical Use Our vapour barrier is produced from a robust EPDM rubber which is specially formulated and designed to provide an outstanding seal. It has strong tensile strength, is tear-proof, has guaranteed dimensional stability, is durable and suppresses hygroscopic changes in building materials. It is thus able to prevent damage to concrete and brick structures due to aggressive salts. It is also resistant to UV light and ozone. Our vapour barrier can be installed without difficulty on almost any substructure. It is bitumen-resistant and compatible with standard building materials with which it is in contact. Flexibility and Rapid Installation are Standard at RENKO® It is available in 10 meter long rolls (33 feet) and widths of 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 333mm, 400mm, 500mm, 666mm, 750mm and 1000mm for easy handling. Whatever the application, we can supply the material either with simple cut edges for laying and bonding or with our tried and tested self-adhesive membranes.

To compliment
its range of classical profiled sealing gaskets, RENKO®
provides vapour barriers, products made from EPDM, capable of withstanding
extreme mechanical deformation, bridges expansion joints and seals permanently.
Developed in close cooperation with window and facade specialists and designed
to meet real practical needs, our vapour barriers are simple to use sealing
strips.
